Our History
Milo Bradway began making maple syrup for his family in the early 1900s. It was later used as a sugar substitute during World War II. In the early 1950's, Milo's son, Earl Bradway, turned the family hobby into a family business; Bradway's Sugar House. From the beginning, it was a family business with Earl gaining help from his brothers, nephews, nieces, and various other members of the family. In 1991, Earl's nephew, Donald Bradway, took over the business and continues running it today.
