New York State maple weekends have passed, but sugar shacks across the North Country will be collecting and boiling sap until the temperatures rise and trees stop producing. In our most recent episode we learned about the life of a sugar maple, now Peter takes us through the sugaring process with local small business owner John Newman. They cover how John, of Newmanzone Maple, got started with sugaring, some of the challenges that are involved, and what the future of North Country maple sugaring could look like. If you enjoy a hearty plate of pancakes with local maple syrup, this is one podcast you don’t want to miss!
