Micro-pancakery. What is birch bending? Birch bending, like pancake making, is a great american tradition. Birches are slender yet supple trees that will bend down and return you to the ground when you climb them, like a fishing pole under the weight of a catch. As a young boy in maine, our founder matt spent his summers bending birches. Years later, he would cary that same playful spirit to his love of pancake-making, and eventually, to the brand he hoped to share with the world. After all, as robert frost said in his poem "birches". "one could so worse than be a swinger of birches".
