Founded upon the guiding principle of embracing simplicity as its own virtue, our family homestead mission is informed by re-establishing a closeness to both land and family that modern culture has jettisoned.  We believe most twenty-first century Americans, by distancing themselves from the earth, have grown too reliant upon materialism, mechanization, and technology.  While we readily endorse material needs and a free market system making them possible, in addition to the appropriate applications of both mechanization and technology, the Maple Hill ethos seeks to keep these realities in proper balance by never forgetting our close connection to the natural world and our role in it as sentient and responsible human beings.  At Maple Hill, we dedicate ourselves to the concepts of both economic and environmental sustainability by minimizing both our consumption habits and the carbon footprints we necessarily leave in our wake.
