Description
For New England’s earliest settlers, maple sugar was often the most available sweetener. Although considered a myth, it is said that a Pilgrim breakfast sometimes included popcorn in milk sweetened with maple sugar. Today maple syrup and other maple products are used by people all over the world. Maple syrup production is a growing industry, but small woodlot owners can participate in this exciting activity and in the expanding maple syrup marketplace. If you have a dozen or more good size maple trees on your property, you may consider making syrup for fun and profit.
