WEST ARM SUGAR

NORTHWOODS MAPLE

HARVESTED + PRODUCED IN THE WOODS ON WALLOON LAKE, MICH.

100% PURE MICHIGAN MAPLE SYRUP | SMALL-BATCH | WOOD-FIRED

west arm sugar

West Arm Sugar was born of the restlessness of a cold Northern Michigan winter, raised with a reverence for the land and its gifts, and released with the desire to share the abundance that can come from nature and a dream. It’s the first project to launch out of West Arm Farm, a burgeoning family project on a historical homestead on Walloon Lake, Michigan. 

2026 season ordering LIVE!

HOW

Being a “Sugarer” is patient work. Each batch of our syrup starts out as 60-80 gallons of sap and is then slowly boiled down outdoors over a wood stove and fed with wood that we gather and cut from the property. Each batch yields 1.5-2 gallons of syrup, we bottle it and package it by hand, mark each bottle with the batch number, and have the pleasure of getting to share it with the local community, as well as friends and family across the country. 

Sure, there are modern ways to speed up the process, but we’ve found satisfaction in following tradition shaped by time. We hope every sip makes you slow down for a moment, too. 

2026 MAPLE season

Each spring, we make a limited amount of small-batch, wood-fired maple syrup from trees on our land on Walloon Lake, Michigan. It’s slow, weather-dependent work — running lines, tapping trees, boiling for long nights, bottling in short runs.

This year, we’re offering early season ordering to help fund scaling our operations, increase production, and get the first batches in your hands sooner.

If you’ve had our syrup before, you already know: one bottle is never enough.

WHY Early season ordering

Maple season is short, intense, and front-loaded. Once the season is fully underway, there’s little time to batch, bottle, and ship — so this is a one-time window to order bottles for shipment. Additionally, early season orders help us:

  • Get more syrup into more hands faster.

  • Order + prepare packaging before the season starts.

  • Offer first access to the earliest batches.

  • Increase the number of taps we can run this season.

  • Fund supplies and upgrade infrastructure up front.

  • Keep the operation small, intentional, and sustainable.

With your support we’ll be able to increase capacity and output this season - doubling the amount of tapped trees to 200+ and installing a new sap evaporator that can boil sap faster and more efficiently.

Early season orders will ship mid-March 2026.

THE LAND

In the hills above Walloon Lake, old-growth maples stand as living witnesses to generations of stewardship and seasonal alchemy. These trees, some old enough to have been tapped by the Indigenous Odawa people, thrive in a landscape shaped by glaciers, warmed by sunlit hillsides, cooled by lake winds, and fed by artesian springs. Nature built this place with patience and purpose — we’re lucky enough to learn from it.
