Christie's Maple Farm & Maple Museum - Christies' Maple Farm! We are a family farm based in Lancaster, New Hampshire. Each spring, Colin and the rest of Team Maple, taps our maple trees at high elevations in New Hampshire's White Mountains for their crystal-clear sap, and then creates the sweetest, best-tasting maple syrup around! After Colin has made our own syrup, he hits the muddy back roads of the Northeast in his red Ford truck to hunt down the other premium maple syrup crops of the season. Whether it’s made in New Hampshire, Vermont, or Quebec – he personally tastes and selects the best of the best for our customers and friends. Take it from us - not all maple syrup is alike!
