Why Choose Doodle's Michigan Maple Syrup

Pure Maple Syrup: Natural Sweetness Straight from the Forest

Mother Nature truly knows best when it comes to pure maple syrup. Maple syrup contains one simple ingredient — the sap of the maple tree. That’s it.

Pure maple syrup is completely natural and essentially wild. It’s a wholesome sweetener that goes straight from the forest to your table, with no artificial ingredients or additives.

At Doodle's Sugarbush, LLC, we produce high-quality maple syrup using traditional methods that have been trusted for generations.

Organic vs. Non-Organic Maple Syrup

One question we hear often is: “Is your maple syrup organic?”

The short answer is no; our syrup is not certified organic. We have not gone through the official certification process required to legally label maple syrup as organic.

However, the actual difference between organic maple syrup and non-organic maple syrup is often simpler than people think.

Most maple syrup — organic or not — is produced using the same basic process:

Most maple syrup — organic or not — is produced using the same basic process:

1. Maple trees are tapped in early spring.

2. Sap is collected from the trees.

3. The sap is boiled to create pure maple syrup.

This traditional method is used by both organic and non-organic maple syrup producers.

Maple Syrup Regulations and Inspections

Whether maple syrup is organic or not, producers must follow strict regulations.

Both organic and non-organic maple syrup producers must:

• Maintain a state license to produce maple syrup

• Pass annual inspections

• Follow USDA food safety and sanitation standards

These inspections ensure that maple syrup is produced in a safe, clean, and legal environment.

To become certified organic, producers must undergo an additional inspection conducted by an organic certification agency, which typically costs thousands of dollars that gets passed along to consumers.

What Makes Maple Syrup Certified Organic?

Organic certification adds several requirements beyond the standard inspections.

These include:

• No chemicals or pesticides used on trees or surrounding areas

• Detailed record-keeping for every batch of syrup

• Strict tapping guidelines to protect tree health

• Documentation of when and where each batch of syrup is produced

In most cases, the extra inspection and documentation are what officially distinguish certified organic maple syrup.  These extra steps should be done by sugar makers anyways.
