Successful Maple Sugaring Business Located In Northern New Hampshire

Business Overview:

Unique opportunity to purchase a full service, tap to distribution Maple Sugaring Business, including the business, production facilities, sugarbush property leases, and a residential property. Established in 1973, Fuller’s Sugarhouse is a family-owned and operated small business located in Lancaster, NH, a quaint, scenic town in the northern White Mountains of New Hampshire. They are surrounded by the Presidential range and all its rugged beauty, part of what makes their syrup so rich in flavor. In 1997 a new sugarhouse and store was built in Lancaster to be able to process product from 10,000 taps. Production was expanded in 2016 with a new sugarhouse in Jefferson, into which 18,000 additional taps feed. Through the years, the business grew and in 1998, Dave and his wife Patti established Fuller’s Sugarhouse and Country Store in downtown Lancaster, NH. Fuller’s Sugarhouse taps maple trees in a “sugar bush” or “maple grove” in the Jefferson/Randolph area. Sap from the trees is collected by a plastic tubing system. They have 18,000 taps that run directly into their Sugarhouse in Jefferson where it is boiled to golden, smooth syrup, and another 10,000 taps in the same “sugar bush” that feed to another remote pump station a mile down the road. From there, drums of syrup are transported to their Lancaster facility to be packaged in bottles and jugs, and used to make maple candy, cream (butter), and sugar. All of Fuller’s Sugarhouse pure maple products are sold online, in their Country Store, and distributed to retail locations nationwide. Fuller’s Sugarhouse Country Store is a one-stop shop for some of the best maple products made in New England. They also sell maple sugaring equipment to other producers in the region and will occasionally participate in equipment installations as well. The product/service breakdown is 27% Retail, 59% Wholesale, 12% Equipment Sales, and 2% Other Sales. No single customer represents more than 8% of total sales, with the top 3 representing only 19% of total sales.
