Rex’s great grandfather Cornelius and his son Charles moved to Maplewood, LunenburgCounty in the 1800’s where they established their homestead and farm. Maple syrup production was part of this original farm operation and in the early 1900’s Charles sold wild Balsam fir Christmas trees. Charles’ son Maynard, Rex’s father, carried on the tradition of this humble way of life that continues to blossom and flourish by thoughtful management and caring of Rex, his wife Bonnie and children Venessa and Ryan.
