Our Story

Finen Maple Products is a family-owned and operated business that has been producing high-quality maple syrup and maple-infused products for over a decade. Our story begins with Jim Finen, who developed a passion for maple sugaring at the tender age of seven, working alongside his father, Don, in their sugar bush.

From those humble beginnings, Jim's love for the craft blossomed, and in 2010, he made the life-changing decision to leave his corporate job and pursue his dream of becoming a full-time sugar maker. That same year, he proposed to his now-wife, Margaret, and they were married in the very sugar house Jim had helped build as a child – a testament to the deep roots of this family tradition.

In the years that followed, Jim and Margaret worked closely with the Gadway family, who mentored them and eventually sold them the sugar bush, allowing the business to flourish. Today, Finen Maple Products has grown from a modest 1,800 taps to over 4,000, and our products can be found on the shelves of Walmart stores in New York and online.

At Finen Maple Products, we take immense pride in our heritage and our commitment to producing the finest maple goods using time-honored techniques passed down through generations. Our passion for maple sugaring is infused into every product we create, ensuring that our customers can taste the authentic flavor of nature's sweetest gift.
