At Kahiltna Birchworks/Alaska Wild Harvest we are producers of pure Alaska birch syrup. While not traditionally considered farmers (we are not growing the birch trees); we are farmers in the sense that we harvest the sap from the trees - currently 3500 - during a brief and intense harvest period each spring. At a ratio of 100 gallons of sap to produce 1 gallon of syrup, birch syrup - compared to 40:1 for maple; birch syrup is difficult to produce. It is also quite rare - less than 1500 gallons produced worldwide - and most of that here in Alaska. In 2008, we produced 630 gallons of CERTIFIED ORGANIC pure birch syrup on our remote homestead in Alaska's upper Susitna Valley, and 100 gallons at our new "satellite" production site on the road system near Palmer, Alaska.
