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.
