In 2017, the Times-Standard featured an article about producing syrup from Humboldt County's native bigleaf maples on this site, inspired by traditions from Vermont and Québec. Drawn by the rare climate conditions at Berry Summit that trigger sap flow, the land became a place to reconnect with that heritage. Working with bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), California's only large native maple, the owner explored small-scale syrup production, inspired in part by The Maple Sugar Book, which notes that even these western maples can yield syrup. More recently, collaboration with Cal Poly Humboldt's Department of Forestry, Fire, and Rangeland Management has brought fresh insight into the property's artisan maple sugaring potential, blending science with a long-standing personal pursuit. Today, this 40-acre parcel offers more than just scenic beauty and privacy it offers a sense of place, history, and possibility. Whether you envision building a peaceful homestead, creating a recreational getaway, or simply enjoying the land's quiet character, this Berry Summit property invites you to make it your own.
