About Maine Maple Products
Maine Maple Products operates from Madison, Maine, where the Larivière family has been producing maple syrup since the early 1900s. The current company traces its ownership to November 1993, when Marc and Hélène Larivière acquired Maine Maple Products, Inc., a business that had already established itself as the state's largest packer and distributor of maple syrup. The acquisition merged the family's sugarbush operation in Somerset County's Big Six Township with an existing packaging and distribution facility in Madison. The company produces pure maple syrup, maple candy, maple cream, granulated maple sugar, maple mustard, maple seasonings, honey, and fruit preserves. Sap is collected from a grove of 80,000 trees using plastic tubing and vacuum systems, then concentrated through reverse osmosis machines and boiled in oil-fired evaporators. The packaging facility in Madison handles bottling and packing for both retail and wholesale channels, while a year‑round retail store on Route 201 sells directly to consumers. Maine Maple Products serves the specialty food market, supplying maple‑based products to retail customers through its storefront and online shop, and acting as a packer and distributor for broader wholesale distribution. The company's roots in large‑scale syrup production—once the largest in Maine—position it as a supplier to grocery and gourmet food channels, though specific customer names are not disclosed. The Larivière family frames the business as a continuation of a multigenerational tradition, aiming to turn a heritage of sugaring into a self‑supporting enterprise. Their differentiation rests on the combination of a family‑managed 80,000‑tap sugarbush, modern processing technology, and an integrated packaging operation that controls quality from tree to container.
