Off Road Maple

What began as a hobby years ago with a few taps and buckets, is now Off Road Maple, LLC, a small producer of maple syrup located in upstate NY.  Owned and operated by the Jordan family with generations of maple history starting with Jason’s grandfather, “Pa”, who began making maple syrup for their farm when there was a sugar shortage during WWII.  This tradition was passed onto his parents, who boiled sap in a flat pan over an open fire with Jason and his brothers. 
Jason carried on this tradition and began producing maple products on a small scale with his own family and as his four kids grew so did the desire to pass this tradition onto them and give them something to come home to after they move out. Off Road Maple was started out of a true passion for the art of maple syrup production, family, and friendships that build each year when family and friends arrive to help out and spend time together during season. The Jordan family was featured in the book “A Good Run” written by Judy Smith, and illustrated by Andy Smith. This story educates readers of all ages on how sap turns into syrup through the viewpoint of the main character “Sap” the sap droplet.
