Maple Syrup: How Maine's Maple Syrup Industry Came to Be & What It Means For our Economy

https://mainemapleproducers.com/

In advance of Maine Maple Sunday on March 22nd, we'll discuss the history and culture of this iconic Maine product, as well as the challenges and opportunities that the maple syrup industry holds for the future. Native Americans in the Northeast developed the method of collecting sap from maple trees and turning it into a sweetening product. Today, Maine is among the top three maple syrup producers in the nation.  We will also talk about some of the purported health benefits of maple syrup--and get some recipe ideas.
