Our
Company
Bascom Maple Farms is the largest producer of
pure maple syrup in New England. We are a major supplier
of maple products to packers, distributors, manufactures,
retailers, and others in the food business.
The
Bascom farm is located on 2,200 acres high in the hills
of New Hampshire near the Connecticut River. The Bascom
family has been producing maple syrup since 1853. Over
seven generations the farm has grown to include large
maple groves, a major dairy, and other agricultural
operations. We have operated commercial syrup production
and packing facilities for over 40 years.
Our
People
The
principals of the business are Bruce and Elizabeth Bascom.
Other family members are active in the business. Bruce
Bascom's entire career has been devoted to the maple
industry. Bascom family members are experienced in all
aspects of sap harvesting, syrup production, packaging,
and distribution. Bruce Bascom is active in a number
of local and national maple product organizations.
Commitment
to the Customer
Our
Yankee tradition of workmanship and pride in what we
do commit us to providing our customers the best quality
maple products possible at competitive prices.
We
are nationally recognized for our knowledge of the maple
business and participate actively in the major maple
trade associations. We are constantly in touch with
the latest national and international conditions in
the maple market.
Because
of our involvement in the maple syrup equipment business,
we are aware of the latest technical advances for harvesting
sap, producing syrup, packaging and distribution. Our
company conducted pioneering work in the use of plastic
tubing for maple sap production. In addition to our
own maple orchards we rent groves at other nearby New
Hampshire locations. At our modern processing and packing
facilities we are prepared to fill orders quickly and
can ship all over the United States.
Uses
of Maple Syrup
Maple
syrup is a natural sweetener traditionally used on pancakes,
waffles, cereals, ice cream, and for glazes and special
dishes such as maple-cured hams. It is also used for
baking, to sweeten drinks like coffee and tea, and in
preparing food dishes like baked beans. It is a natural
food product with a history reaching back over the centuries.
Our syrup is sodium-and cholesterol-free, produced without
chemicals, and contains no additives or preservatives.
Quality
Because
we tap trees in forests we own or manage, we can oversee
the conditions of the woods and guarantee the quality
of our product. All syrup is produced, packaged, and
graded under the Bascom's personal supervision in accordance
with US government regulations. Our processing methods
are scrupulously tended to. They include modern production
and packing facilities that employ up-to-date, proven
technology.
