Across the north country, the traditional sugar-making season is underway. Most Northern New York maple syrup producers get busy tapping their trees in late February or early March, in preparation for the greatly anticipated four to six weeks of sap flow generally expected to begin in mid- to late March and continue on into April.
The sugar-making season and the weeks that follow are an extremely important selling period for maple syrup-producing farm families. Many of them participate in Maple Weekend, an annual event championed by the New York State Maple Producers Association and supported by Cornell Cooperative Extension and the Cornell Maple Program. It is an opportunity for individuals and families to visit one or more family-run maple sugaring operations and see how sugar maple trees are tapped and sap is collected and boiled into pure, delicious maple syrup.
