Maple Operations Management
Crown Maple, one of the nation's premier maple syrup producers, offers a unique hands-on opportunity to learn a complete agricultural production operation from the ground up. Over 22 weeks, participants work alongside experienced crew across every stage of the maple value chain — from managing a 40,000+ tap sugarbush to operating commercial-scale reverse osmosis and evaporator systems. This broad based program seeks to prepare participants for a career in agriculture, forestry, and food manufacturing, specifically in the growing maple syrup industry. No maple syrup or agriculture experience is required. The intent of the program is to train the participant for an entry-level maple operations position, with the goal of progressing toward the management of teams, systems, and eventually an entire sugarbush. The majority of training in this program will involve true on-the-job training, with some training provided directly by senior management at the company.
