WILLIAMSBURG Following a record-breaking year, maple sugarers Paul and Serena Zononi hosted a delegation of state officials who came to celebrate the maple crop.
Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs Kathleen Theoharides and other dignitaries toured three different area maple syrup producers on Monday in recognition of Massachusetts Maple Month.
March was declared Massachusetts Maple Month by Gov. Charlie Baker this year, and in a release announcing the tour it was noted that annual maple production is worth more than $5 million to state farmers.
