Who we are…
Roan Brittin of Thamesford, Ontario
Roan has a natural curiousty about native plants and wildlife. About a year ago, he came across an articles about Black Walnut Syrup and it’s valuable reputation for example by a company in the USA producing award winning whiskeys that flavour their aging barrels with Black Walnut Syrup.
Having a place near by with approximately 200 Black Walnut trees (he’s got a tree obsession and knows basically all about trees), Roan came up with the plan to produce his own Black Walnut Syrup for the first time in the 2025 early spring season with success.
Eva Eaton of Hamilton (originally Germany). Is a graphic artist by career, but her current desire lies with culinary ventures. She even went to culinary school and has a certificate of Chef de Cuisine and, of course, a valid food handling certificate.
Roan and Eva met at the Ontario Pirate Festival in Guelph, ON in 2023 and became good friends.
Out of Roan’s idea and Eva’s culinary curiousity, Squirrelez was born.
As mentioned on the front page, producing Black Walnut Syrup does take a lot of time and efford and it is not a one-person venture. While Roan taps and collects and boils sap to around 30 brix (percentage measure used in measuring sugar content). Eva takes the reduced sap and further reduced it to the obligatory for syrup, 66 brix which makes it shelf stabil. She also designed the labeling together with Roan.
Living in Carlisle, ON, she has quick access to local bee’s wax which makes a perfect seal for the bottles that are recyclable.
Both, Roan and Eva are getting ready for the next season, so get your orders in early!
