About Us

Goodell Family Farm is a seven generation farm, having been founded when Jonas Goodell purchased in 1825. The farm was honored in 1999 at the Ohio State Fair as an “Ohio Century Farm” and no one but direct descendants of Jonas Goodell have lived on the original 150 acres.

Today the major focus of the farm is dairying, supported by an intensive grazing program, but maple syrup has been produced since the beginning of the farm. Many maple delicacies were developed in recent years to offer a variety of products to the consumer.

The Goodell’s employ many modern production methods to produce high quality maple syrup in a efficient method. The sugar bush includes 4,600 taps on a vacuum tubing system and utilizes reverse osmosis to remove up to 75% of the water before boiling. This speeds up the syrup making process and greatly reduces fuel usage. In 2008, Goodell Family Farm’s maple syrup was certified 100% organic. 

The maple syrup produced at the Goodell’s has received numerous awards on a local, state, and international level. Most recently, at the 2008 John Berry Maple Products Contest (sponsored by the Ohio Maple Producers Association), Goodell Family Farm received honors of 2nd in Light Amber, 1st in Medium Amber, 1st in Dark Amber, 2nd in Maple Candy, 2nd in Maple Sugar, 1st in Maple Cream and the Hilton Farley Award for overall best of show!
