The Fadden Family like many early settlers of the early 1800’s harvested maple sap and produced syrup and sugar for their own use or to trade for supplies.  It wasn’t until the 1930’s that they got down to producing maple products in a big way when they acquired a commercial maple syrup production. Always striving to produce top quality maple products, their efforts over the decades have been rewarded with many blue ribbons at various fairs, four previous Carlisle Trophies and a Governor’s Cup for the best male syrup in North America. With this year’s award, the Fadden Family has won the Carlisle Trophy five times.
