Maple Syrup Of all the various specialties of MeadowBrook Farms, the winner hands-down is the annual maple harvest. Every year in late March and early April, most other farm business shuts down as everyone's time is devoted to gathering maple sap and boiling syrup in the century-old sap house. There has been a recent trend among many maple syrup producers to use oil to heat their huge boiling pans, but this has not been and will never be the case at MeadowBrook Farms. For over a century we have heated the pans with wood gathered from the mountains around the farm, and the difference is obvious when you taste the syrup. The well-established sugar bush is also a large contributor to the excellent syrup the farm produces every year. |
