New Quesnel area producers

Jerry and Laura Entzminger provided us with the following information on their new operation in Quesnel BC.

"Hello everyone. We are new to the Birch Syrup business. We have purchased Sweet Tree Ventures along with Karen's eight years of experience in the making of birch syrup. Our ranch is located just outside of Quesnel and grows an abundance of beautiful birch trees. We gather the sap from the trees to produce our birch syrup. The birch sap contains many beneficial minerals and digestible fructose sugars to create a flavor unlike anything you have tasted. Do you like products that are unique, healthy and great tasting? Then this is your product. If you are interested in buying birch syrup and/or want more information please call us at 250.249.5466, fax 250.249.5467 and via email at deranch@telus.net."

We wish them all the best in your syrup production and look forward to more producers posting here and sharing information on their products.

New producers added

The Quesnel birch syrup workshop is just a few weeks away and registrations are coming in from all across British Columbia. The workshop is a great opportunity to learn about tapping trees and also network with other producers - both beginners and people that have been tapping for a number of years. Register today by calling April at 250.992.3522 or email birch@quesnelcorp.com.

This week we'd also like to point out two new producers that are now linked to our site - we welcome Boreal Birch Syrup produced in Thunder Bay, Ontario owned and operated by Dave Challen and Beth Kuiper and Uncle Berwyn's Yukon Birch Syrup produced in beautiful birch stands in central Yukon by, you guessed it, Uncle Berwyn. We thank both producers for contacting us and invite all of our readers to visit their websites linked in the producers section of this blog. (right hand column)

Tapping season is just around the corner - please feel free to send us updates on how your tapping is going this year and we'd be happy to post your photos and updates. Also let us know when your 2008 stock is available and we will gladly promote your products.
