Description
COVID Pandemic restrictions: drive-thru Maple Festivals, pre-order, or online sales. Maple Syrup is a natural sweetener, a good source of vitamins, minerals and the perfect substitute for Sugar. They need days above 32 or 35 degrees for sap to flow properly, a west wind and freezing nights in the 20s. Maple season is a time-honored tradition in the Northeast, when sap starts to flow in maple trees and is collected and boiled into syrup, with visitors coming to sugar houses to see the operations firsthand. Trees with a trunk diameter ranging greater in diameter than 25` can support three taps. Maple syrup is a syrup usually made from the xylem sap of Sugar, Red, Black, Silver, and Norway maples.
