About the Farm
In 1973, Paul Doerfler and Julia Richmond embarked on an extraordinary journey that would become Tree Brand Maple, making their home in the forests of Quebec and embracing a lifestyle deeply connected to the land. Living in a tipi and committed to simple, hands-on living, they began their maple syrup operation by tapping trees by hand, collecting sap in buckets, and using a horse to pull the precious liquid through the woods. What started as a dream of living close to nature has evolved into a cherished multi-generational tradition that now spans both Quebec and Vermont.
For over five decades, the Doerfler family has remained dedicated to crafting pure maple syrup with unwavering care and respect for their natural surroundings. Their commitment to quality is reflected in their certifications as both organic by Ecocert and Kosher, ensuring their maple syrup is produced without synthetic chemicals or additives while meeting the strictest standards of purity and preparation. The family utilizes methods that honor both the land and their rich heritage, maintaining traditional values while adapting to serve customers across generations.
Today, Tree Brand Maple represents far more than a farm; it embodies a complete lifestyle philosophy passed down through the Doerfler family. Julia continues to walk the woods and tend her expansive summer garden that feeds the family year-round, while Paul takes personal pride in delivering syrup directly to longtime customers. The next generation, including Abraham who handles repairs and maintenance, Martha and Bow who blend tradition with modern efficiency, Ruthy who manages everything from food systems to animal care, and Elijah who oversees the Vermont operation, ensures this family legacy will continue thriving for years to come.
