The Maple Guys, a two-family agricultural business in New Hampshire, was recently awarded a Conservation Innovation Grant by USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
The Maple Guys produces and sells maple syrup and other maple products, as well as the equipment needed to make them.
The Maple Guys received $10,534 from NRCS, which they matched with their own funds, to purchase a clean-burning, wood-fired evaporator, the Hurricane Force 5. This new stove, the first of its kind in New Hampshire, improves maple sugaring operations by reducing negative environmental impacts and increasing safety. Conservation Innovation Grant-funded projects use innovative technologies and approaches to address natural resources issues.
