About Bascom
Sustainable Maple
Long before the term was popularized, sustainable farming was just called…farming. Since the mid-1800s, the Bascom family has been acting as responsible stewards of the forest, following a sustainable approach to agriculture, prior to anyone having a specific name for it.
Today, as part of nearly 16,000 sugar makers in the U.S. who are preserving maple forests, we’re helping to preserve crucial habitat for distinct plants and animals that need large, intact tracts of forest to survive.
And, while sustainable farming is part of our family’s history, we’re just as focused on bringing maple farming into the future by increasing efficiency, reducing our carbon footprint, and doing all we can to make sure that small family farms—and the small town economies that depend on them—thrive.
