Maple Weekend - March 18-19 & March 25-26, 2006
Description
The Western New York Maple Producers Association is comprised of almost 130 of the finest syrup makers in the United States. Our purpose is to increase the production of New York State maple syrup and enhance its sale across the nation.
Maple Weekend began nearly a decade ago when Wyoming County maple producers opened their doors to the public to showcase the production of maple products from tree to table. The first event, known then as Maple Sunday, demonstrated how maple syrup was made by tapping trees, collecting sap and boiling it into syrup. Producers also provided samples and sold maple products to the public.
Now Maple Weekend occurs statewide, spreading the word about award-winning New York Sate maple syrup, named best-tasting in the United States. And while Vermont syrup packers probably won’t admit it, New York State Maple Producers often sell bulk syrup to Vermont, where it picks up that state’s label.
