In today’s wellness industry, Bear Maple Farms stands out for its innovation rooted in the timeless wisdom of nature. By merging the ancient benefits of ginseng with the subtle sweetness of maple water, Bear Maple Farms has crafted a functional beverage that bridges the gap between tradition and modern wellness trends.
Founded in the heart of the pandemic, Bear Maple Farms emerged from a moment of discovery. CEO and founder Brian Bethke, while sheltering in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York, stumbled upon wild ginseng and maple trees during daily walks with his daughter. This serendipitous encounter led to a deeper exploration of the rich history and functionality of these natural ingredients. The result? A revolutionary sparkling tonic that not only tastes refreshing but also nourishes the body and mind.
The Royal Root Meets Modern Needs
Ginseng, often referred to as the “royal root,” has been celebrated in traditional medicine for centuries. In ancient cultures, ginseng was prized for its adaptogenic properties, helping the body combat stress, improve mental clarity, and boost overall vitality. Fast forward to today, and these benefits are more relevant than ever.
Bear Maple Farms has elevated this age-old ingredient by sourcing hydroponically grown ginseng. This method ensures a sustainable and pure product while maintaining the root’s rich concentration of rare compounds, known as ginsenosides. These ginsenosides are scientifically recognized for their ability to support cognitive function and reduce fatigue, making ginseng an ideal ingredient for health-conscious consumers seeking natural solutions for focus and energy.
By pairing this ancient superfood with maple water—a naturally sweet and hydrating ingredient tapped directly from maple trees—Bear Maple Farms has created a product that feels as innovative as it is rooted in tradition. Maple water, long revered in indigenous cultures for its nutrient-rich profile, adds a unique flavor and nutritional value to the tonics without relying on artificial sweeteners or added sugars.
Innovation Through Sustainability
While the ingredients speak to the wisdom of the past, Bear Maple Farms embraces modern practices to ensure sustainability and transparency. The company’s use of hydroponically grown ginseng not only reduces the environmental impact of farming but also allows for a consistent and high-quality product. Maple water is ethically sourced, and the entire production process reflects a commitment to minimizing waste and supporting local ecosystems.
Bear Maple Farms is also a proud member of 1% for the Planet, dedicating 1% of its annual sales to vetted environmental partners. This commitment ensures that every purchase contributes to global conservation efforts, aligning the brand’s success with positive environmental impact.
