The story of Crane Creek Farms begins in 2012. Jeff Eichenberger with the aid of his son Jesse tap 12 maple trees on the family farm. Despite limited knowledge and less satisfactory equipment, the pair managed to produce a few pints of overcooked and poorly filtered syrup!

Following maple syrup season the pair tried their hand at beekeeping. Six hives were purchased and set up on the farm, without the proper equipment and knowledge many bee stings were encountered while producing a small amount of honey!
