Our Approach

Every product begins with the birch forest. We harvest sap during Alaska’s brief spring thaw using low-impact tapping methods designed with long-term forest health in mind, then transform that harvest through fermentation, concentration, and small-batch craft.

Our Story

Hammers Family Birch grew from a connection spanning Alaska, Latvia, friendship, and family. Founded by the Hammers brothers and a childhood friend, the company brings together generations of northern birch tradition with a modern approach to fermentation, food, and forest stewardship.
