Bissell Maple Farm, rooted in a century-long legacy, began with Peter Bissell’s family settling in Ohio in the 1800s, initially focusing on dairy, apple orchards, and maple syrup for family and friends. Nate Bissell, after a stint in chemical engineering, rediscovered his family’s maple farming heritage, leading to the establishment of Rock Creek Sugarworks. Evolving from a small family endeavor to a thriving business, Bissell’s journey saw transitions from being evicted from the family farm to outgrowing the Rock Creek location and finally settling in a 40,000 square-foot facility in Jefferson, Ohio—an old General Electric plant. The company’s growth reflects a remarkable fusion of tradition, resilience, and a genuine passion for producing high-quality maple syrup.
