Hello!
For those interested in getting a Value Added Producer Grant, there will be a webinar on Thursday, Jan 30, 2020, from 10 to 11:30 am. Please see this event.
I also added the WV Maple Syrup Festival Weekend in Pickens WV, March 21 and 22, to our calendar of events.
We received an email from Vermont Evaporator. They say they have some West Virginia customers and welcome more! It is a small manufacturing facility that makes and sells sugaring equipment for hobby maple syrup makers (5-50+ taps). They offer a stand-alone backyard, open-air evaporator that converts to a grill, smoker or pizza oven in the off season, and they have a line of stand-alone sugaring pans as well. I have added their website to our useful links page under Resources.
Our Winter Newsletter is in the works, and should arrive in February. Keep an eye out!
Here’s to a great 2020 Maple Season!
