    As a producer of the Organic Maple Cooperative you will build an ownership stake in the Maple Valley brand. The mission of Maple Valley is to return a fair price to producers year after year. The Organic Maple Cooperative business model annually determines a predictable and fair price for the producer and then operates the business on a margin that supports brand development and sales of our maple syrup. Our producers sustainably tap anywhere between 100 to 50,000 taps. The opportunity for sales through the Organic Maple Cooperative is best for those producers who do not have stable markets for their bulk syrup. Another strength of our cooperative is the ability of our members to source additional syrup from other members at a minimal cost. For those smaller producers, we offer a strong network of experienced producers and technical support to grow your production and sell your maple syrup in the best market channels available to you.
