Appalaches Nature specializes in the production of natural sweeteners (maple syrup, honey, agave syrup). In 2019, in order to meet the growing demand for maple products worldwide, a new ultra-modern processing facility was built. Specialized in the packaging of maple products, Appalaches Nature’s new industrial site is one of the most modern, most highly automated and safest production facilities on the market. With the goal of producing the smallest ecological footprint possible, the new plant was designed to meet the most stringent standards in energy efficiency and sustainability. Since its creation, Appalaches Nature has been sourcing maple syrup from its producer partners to bring you the very highest quality product harvested with care. In the world’s biggest maple producing region, across Canada’s maple forests, Appalaches Nature processes and bottles maple products with passion, creating moments of pure happiness. Appalaches Nature markets its products primarily under its brand Maple Joe distributed in over 55 countries. In Quebec (Canada), Biodélices (organic maple products) and L’Érablerie (conventional maple products) are also distributed. Appalaches Nature is thrilled to join the B Corp movement and seek to further improve its social and environmental impac
