Meet the Business Owner: Mary H.
Inspired by the Helen and Scott Nearing books on The Good Life and maple sugaring, I began envisioning a lifestyle with maple. In 2009, the business plan began, and resulted in the opening of the Maple Run Emporium shop in 2011. The initial idea was to make and sell maple syrup and maple candy. The shop evolved into not only a gourmet grocery specializing in maple, but also a kitchen store with cookware, textiles, books, and scents, plus an Artisan Gallery of locally crafted wood bowls, pottery, baskets, and paintings.
