Updates for November 2024

November - The new sapping season starts in late winter; typically from mid-March to mid-April in most maple-syrup producing areas, when temperatures are below freezing at night and above freezing during the day. Tours usually begin in early Spring! That's a great time to visit a maple sugar orchard or sugarworks and see a sugaring demonstration; watch them make maple syrup!

Where are Maple Syrup farms/orchards/sugarworks, etc.? Well, they're not in Hawaii or Florida, for sure. They are concentrated in the northeast and upper midwest in the US and the eastern half of Canada, even though maple trees do grow in the northwest. That's why the areas below (in states outside of the Northeast and Midwest) have no listings! Although, there is research to develop trees that can produce sap/syrup in warmed climates.

  Comments from a visitor on September 21, 2009: "My husband found Ricker Hill Orchards in a Google search and we learned that it actually offered a lot, so we went. It was a great time and I wanted to see the listing changed to reflect what this PYO really offers. I know that they accept credit cards, but I do not know which ones. They offer organic apples, but I do not know what kind of certification they have."
