In 1860, Joseph and Theresia Marquardt, along with their 3 young children (Anna, Erdman, & Linus)  established a homestead and farm just south of the hamlet of Denbigh, Ontario in the Canadian Shield.

Traditional syrup making techniques have been passed down from generation to generation and many of the same maples that were once tapped by the first Marquardts are still tapped today. Our family has also ventured into other passive farming activities such as honey and birch syrup production. Since we have such strong connection with the land, our family recognizes the need to produce these new products sustainably so that future generations can enjoy the resources brought from the land as much as we do.
