About Shaw Maple Products
Established in 2007, we began making maple syrup after visiting a local high school in the area that was hosting their annual “Maple Weekend.” We wanted to teach our children that you can create a natural and unrefined sweetener that comes from a maple tree right on our property.
In 2020 we started to renovate a building on our property into our new retail store. It is something that we have always wanted to do but never had the time to with a full schedule of farmer’s markets and weekend festivals. With Covid-19, we actually found some much needed time to make that dream come true and on February 5th, 2021 we offically opened our doors with a new expanded retail space. We also invited some exceptional local businesses to showcase their own products and we couldn’t be happier. Stop in and visit us @ 7945 Maxwell Rd. Clinton, NY 13323.
We love what we do and it means so much to us that you enjoy our products. Stop by for a tour during our sugaring season in March.

About Peaceful Valley Maple Farms
Steve Savage has been immersed in maple grove life since he was 15 years old. He started collecting sap in buckets on his grandfather, Gordon LaGrange’s farm. Gordon taught him the process of making maple syrup-from tapping the correct trees, to using wood for the boiling process. In 1986, Peaceful Valley Maple Farms was established. A new sap house was built in 2005 and in 2007, a restaurant was added to the sap house and store through the vision of Steve’s mother, Barbara Kirk. Steve continues the family tradition by sharing his love of sugaring with his son Stephen, who has taken on most of the boiling process for the past two years. Together, the Savage family has grown that passion into a successful family business.
Maple Weekend is a chance for the public to come to the farm to learn about New York’s maple sugarmaking processes and traditions and to provide a chance to taste pure maple syrup in its many forms – right from the source. This event is organized and sponsored by the New York State Maple Producers’ Association. We are proudly funded by both our members and the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets.
NYS Maple Association
The New York State Maple Producers Association (NYSMPA) is a not-for-profit organization composed of the folks who produce maple syrup and related maple products throughout New York State. We are a diverse group of small business people who understand what it means to work hard in the forests, who take pride to practice sustainable wood lot management, so that healthy maple trees will yield their sweet sap year after year.
