The History of Jorns' Sugar Bush

Roland in his grade school years ran 178 trees, but during his sophomore year of high school increased to 1200 trees. Thirteen years later, in 1963, Roland built the present camp which he named "Jorns' Sugar Bush". Expansion was then on its way. Presently we are tapping 8,000 trees with the capability and capacity to double that amount. In 1978 Roland was the first in Wisconsin to purchase a reverse osmosis machine to remove 80% of the water from the sap, reducing the time and costs for the heated evaporation. Roland has given 60 years of his life in the knowledge of making the highest quality maple syrup possible, the light amber in color. He served as director on the Wisconsin Maple Syrup Producers Council for six years and has served two terms as their president. He also served two years representing Wisconsin at the North American Maple Syrup Council.
