The History of Doodle's Sugarbush

Doodle’s Sugarbush began in 1998 in the small community of Blanchard, Michigan, with a simple goal: to produce high-quality, pure maple syrup while preserving one of nature’s oldest traditions. What started with a modest collection of maple trees quickly grew into a dedicated family-run operation rooted in craftsmanship, passion, and a deep respect for the art of maple sugaring.

From the very beginning, Doodle’s Sugarbush took a different approach than many producers. Instead of branching into multiple ventures, the focus remained on doing one thing exceptionally well—creating 100% pure Michigan maple syrup. By combining traditional methods with modern technology, the business has consistently produced award-winning syrup known for its rich flavor and superior quality.

Over the past 25+ years, Doodle’s Sugarbush has grown steadily, expanding from a small local operation into a recognized name across Michigan and beyond. Today, its products can be found in hundreds of grocery stores throughout Southeastern Michigan and Northern Ohio, as well as in restaurants that value authentic, locally made ingredients.

While growth has been important, the heart of Doodle’s Sugarbush remains the same: a commitment to tradition, quality, and community. Every bottle of syrup and every handcrafted maple product reflects a passion for the craft and a dedication to delivering a true “taste of Michigan.”

At Doodle’s Sugarbush, maple isn’t just a seasonal business—it’s a way of life, lived and practiced 365 days a year.
