Harvesting sap across 160 acres of forested land, turning it into syrup, processing it into a delectable line of gourmet products, packaging it, bringing it to market, and building relationships with commercial customers ranging from local Sobeys and Safeway to small gift shops and local museums, not to mention hauling it all to handmade markets and craft shows across the country six months of the year, takes a lot of hard work. Determination and unwavering faith in their ability to achieve the objectives they have set for themselves and their company, The Canadian Birch Company. While many entrepreneurs confront similar obstacles, Glenda and Rory Hart have persevered longer than most in an agricultural field where mother nature has just as big of an impact on their success as the client.
