The Spring Tree Corporation was founded in 1976 by three Vermont entrepreneurs operating from a small converted dairy in Brattleboro, Vt. They named their company and their product "Spring Tree®" capturing the tradition to tap maple trees and make maple syrup when the warmer sunny days of spring arrive.

From the start their aim was to deliver the very best value to consumers. In Quebec (where 90% of pure maple syrup comes from) they bought from those areas of the Province where soil and weather produced year after year the most flavorful syrup, and from the most efficient maple syrup farmers.

They custom-designed a bottle whose sparkling clear fluted glass highlights the rich amber shade of pure maple syrup, and then designed an award-winning label that sets Spring Tree apart from all other pure maple syrup brands.

Spring Tree's superior quality and price made it the fastest growing brand of pure maple syrup in the 80's. By 1993 Spring Tree had become the best selling brand of pure maple syrup in the U.S. and indeed the world. You could find Spring Tree in supermarkets, club stores and natural food stores around the world from New York to San Francisco to Tokyo to Istanbul to Berlin and London.

In 1997, Spring Tree introduced Spring Tree® Sugar Free Syrup to offer a flavorful alternative to diet conscious Americans. It quickly became the fastest growing product on the syrup shelf.

In 1999, the Spring Tree owners sold their business to Specialty Brands of America. Since then, SBA has expanded the availability of Spring Tree® Pure Maple Syrup widening its leadership position to over one third of all worldwide pure maple syrup sales and making Spring Tree® Sugar Free syrup the second leading brand.
