The maple sugaring season usually starts about mid-February and ends around mid-April. How well and long the season is depends greatly on the weather. New Hampshire usually produces about 90,000 gallons of maple syrup in a given season. Considering that it takes forty gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup that is alot of sap.

Sap is collected when the pressure from a maple tree thawing reaches a certain level. It allows the sap to flow from the small wholes that are made to collect the sap. The pressure level that is needed is created when the tree freezes and thaws. Thus warm days and cold nights make for the best maple sugaring conditions.

Maple syrup is produced mostly in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. We hope you will stop by one of the many maple sugar houses in New Hampshire to see first hand how maple syrup is made. Click on the links below to learn more.
