From the Birch Forest

Stories from Talkeetna

This is where we share what's happening in the forest and at the sugar shack. You'll find harvest updates as the sap runs each spring, seasonal reflections through the year, and news from the family, including recipes, product notes, and the occasional look behind the scenes.

We've been tapping birch outside Talkeetna, Alaska since 1990, and every season brings something worth writing down. Check back through the year, or subscribe to get updates in your inbox.
