Maple Weekend 2020
During Maple Weekend, maple farms across New York State invite visitors to their “sugar houses” to experience firsthand how pure, mouth-watering maple syrup and other related products are made. Visitors also have the opportunity to enjoy fun, family-friendly activities, taste New York’s freshest syrup and purchase maple products.
We’d love for you to join us in Delaware County during the two Maple Weekends held on Saturday, March 21st and Sunday, March 22nd and then again on Saturday, March 28th and Sunday, March 29th. See the participating farms below and check the official website to make sure all scheduled events are being hosted as scheduled.
Maple Production in New York State
New York State is home to the largest resource of tappable maple trees within the United States, and over 2,000 maple sugarmakers. As an abundant and sustainable crop, New York’s gourmet maple industry is vibrant and growing on an annual basis.
Our state’s unique climate and forestry make it naturally perfect for maple syrup production. This pure, additive-free sweetener is made simply by removing water from the sap to concentrate the natural sugars and nutrients made by the tree.
Maple production tends to be a community endeavor, many times involving the entire extended family working together to accomplish one common goal: to produce a pure, all-natural maple syrup that they can take pride in calling their own. The gourmet maple syrup and granulated sugar that come as a result are delicious additions, and dare we say necessities, to any kitchen worldwide.
