OneTree Alaska hosts holiday sale of birch products
December 15, 2020
OneTree Alaska is hosting a holiday sale of birch sap products from noon-6 p.m., through
Dec. 21.
It is selling caramels, birch sticks and syrup made in its production kitchen in the Lola Tilly Commons. A 4-ounce bag of caramels sells for $15, but the price is discounted for three or more bags. Decorated birch sticks are $1 each, and syrup ranges from $12 to $36, depending on the amount. It is sold in 4-, 8- and 12-ounce jars.
Individuals may place an order on this form and pay by credit card, cash or check. Orders may be picked up at the garage door on the west side of Lola Tilly Commons, the side facing the Patty Center. COVID-19 safety precautions are being followed.
The birch products are made from sap collected in the Fairbanks area. Proceeds support the OneTree program, which is affiliated with the UAF Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station. The program engages learners of all ages in boreal forest education, citizen science, and forest product development. It also works with individuals interested in small-scale production of birch syrup or birch sap products.
OneTree coordinator Jan Dawe is inspired by maple research facilities at Cornell University and in Vermont that support their research through sales of maple syrup products. For more information, contact Dawe at jcdawe@alaska.edu or 474-5517.
