BASCOM ENTERS HALL OF FAME |
July 16, 2010 Bruce Bascom of Alstead, NH was recently inducted into the American Maple Hall of Fame at the American Maple Museum in Croghan, New York. He grew up in a maple producing family, and under his leadership, Bascom Maple Farm grew from 5,000 taps with buckets to 65,000 taps on tubing, the largest maple operation in New Hampshire. Bascom also purchases tens of thousands of drums of maple syrup annually from every maple producing state. He sells syrup, granulated maple sugar and maple candy across the U. S. and abroad, making him one of the largest distributors of maple products in the world.
A pioneer in the use of new technology, Bascom was an early user of the vacuum method of sap collection and in 1975, the first maple producer to use the reverse osmosis machine. With 52 employees, Bascom Maple Farm is a leader in efficiency and quality control.
Bascom’s new and used maple equipment and supply dealership fills the needs of maple producers everywhere and is one of the largest of its kind in the country. Bascom is part owner of the Leader Evaporator Company, has owned other maple companies over the years and has served as a director of maple-related companies and organizations.
Bruce Bascom joins his father, Kenneth Bascom and four other NH maple producers in the American Maple Hall of Fame.
