Celebrate Spring with Local Maple Syrup

Tuesday, March 17, 2015

The Government of Ontario encourages you to take advantage of maple syrup activities and products. At this time of year, Ontario's maple trees produce the sap used to make delicious maple products that you can enjoy such as syrup, maple butter, taffy, candy, sauces and maple sap drinks. Syrup production begins in southwestern Ontario and progresses towards eastern Ontario, the north and northeast, where the first sap harvest may differ by as much as two to three weeks.

Enjoy Ontario's maple syrup now and all year round by:

  • Enjoying a delicious meal at a local pancake house or trying a new maple syrup recipe.
  • Taking an educational maple tour or visiting a maple syrup producer to learn more about how this tasty treat is made.
  • Buying unique maple products right from the farm.
  • Taking the family to one of the season's maple syrup festivals, running throughout April.
