Sweet Maple Farms

About Us    

 

Located in rural Cedar Rapids, Iowa since 1991, we are a family-run farm specializing in maple syrup, honey and wild berry products.
 
When our family of eight moved from suburbia to the farm, we intentionally set out to teach our children an appreciation of nature. They learned how to raise vegetables, bale hay, and explore the woods for treasures such as nuts and wild berries.  An outing to Indian Creek Nature Center taught us about the local Native American tradition of “syruping” in the spring. We did some further research and then tried our hand at tapping a few trees that season. Soon maple-time became one of our family’s favorite seasons of the year.  
 
Initially, we gave away our homemade maple syrup as gifts, but as we shared with friends and neighbors, word spread. Strangers began calling to buy our syrups and jellies.  In 1995 we decided to offer our gifts from nature to the public.  Our products are promoted through word-of-mouth from existing customers, at local farmer's markets, and now through expansion to a web presence.
 
We appreciate your interest in our products. You can be assured they will always be organic, natural, unadulterated, and processed and package with love and dedication. We like to think of this as nature’s gift to you, processed and packaged by us.
