| Impact, special achievements & commitments | | | The Forest Farmers is one of the largest producers of tree saps and syrups in the world, tapping over 200,000 maple, birch, beech, and walnut trees on carefully managed forestland in New York and Vermont. We are the first and only Regenerative Organic Certified producer of maple sap and syrup and sought out FFL certification in order to demonstrate our commitment to social and ethical practices in our business. We are a mission driven company to provide good paying jobs in rural areas and have become the largest private employer in the two small towns we operate. | ||||
