AUGUSTA – The Maine Maple Producers Association is set to host the fifth annual Maine Maple Fall Fest on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 12 and 13.
The event includes more than 25 sugarhouses statewide. Some will offer sugarbush tours and presentations on how maple syrup is made, and there is always a wide variety of maple syrup-enhanced items for sale including fresh maple donuts, maple syrup, maple candies and maple kettle popcorn.
While producers don’t tap trees or boil sap in autumn, the state’s producers make more than 575,000 gallons of syrup annually and family run farm stores offer a full selection of Maine maple goods.
The MMPA, representing over half of Maine’s licensed maple producers, ensures that every bottle of maple syrup meets the high standards synonymous with Maine’s reputation for quality. The association encourages consumers to look for the Pure Maine Maple label.
An interactive map showing participating sugarhouses is available at mainemapleproducers.com.
