Maple syrup business runs in Shaw family for 119 years

Tom Shaw still has the board on which his great-grandfather wrote yearly records of Shaws’ first boiling day.

Mr. Shaw’s great-great-grandparents Thomas and Eleanor Shaw purchased their land in Oro-Medonte, Ont., in 1893. It was an old-growth maple bush that the couple used to sell firewood. In 1904, their son James suggested they start producing maple syrup. Mr. Shaw uses a reverse-osmosis machine to remove the majority of the water from the sap in an eco-friendly manner. His oil-fired evaporator removes the remaining 10 per cent of the water, creating syrup.

“This industry is unbelievably sustainable economically and it allows things to get to that age. We want those 350-year-old trees.”Laura Proctor/The Globe and MailLaura Proctor/The Globe and Mail
