Travis and Joyce Miller began producing hickory syrup as an experiment . They grow and eat their own produce , hunt and cook their own game , and have even built most of their houses from the ground up . The syrup is similar to maple syrup , but it 's smokier and less sweet in taste . In three years , Falling Bark Farm went from selling 50 bottles of syrup a day to 100 .
