Our Story
Built by a Sugarmaker, for Sugarmakers
SHMU started in the sugarbush — not in a boardroom. Every feature exists because a real maple producer needed it.
Where SHMU Came From
Maple sugaring is one of the oldest agricultural traditions in North America. It's also one of the most data-intensive — sap volumes, boil ratios, fuel consumption, weather windows, tap counts, tree health. For generations, sugarmakers tracked all of it on paper, in notebooks, or not at all.
SHMU was born out of frustration with that gap. The founder spent years running a sugarbush and realized that the tools available were either too generic or too complicated. What was needed was something purpose-built — an app that understood the rhythm of a maple season from the inside.
Today SHMU is used by sugarmakers across the northeast to track every aspect of their operation, from the first tap of the season to the last bottle on the shelf.
