Maine proudly stands out as the #3 producer of maple syrup in the country. Yes, it's true we're not that far from Canada, but maple syrup from The Pine Tree State is in a class by itself.
Whether you slather it on pancakes or slip it in your coffee, our real estate agents know that maple syrup is a local tradition. When you choose Augusta homes for sale, you will have the opportunity to partake in it with some of the freshest maple syrup you can find in the United States.
In Maine, maple syrup season officially begins at the end of March, but tree tapping can start as early as the first few days of January. Some producers get ready as early as December. Maine Maple Sunday will be celebrated on March 27, 2022. As in past years, it's sure to be a sight to behold.
Maine Maple Sunday Is the Kickoff of Maine's Maple Syrup Season
Yes, New York, Wisconsin, Ohio, and a handful of others around the country also participate in maple syrup season. But if you ask us, you need to see it here in Maine to get the full experience! Each year, more than 200 licensed maple syrup makers generate 580,000 gallons of syrup, and it all starts now.
Maine Maple Sunday is the opportunity for Maine's "sugarhouses" to meet new customers and help you indulge your sweet tooth at the same time. It's an organized, annual event (2022 marks the 39th straight year) where producers of all sizes showcase their wares in a festive community atmosphere.
As a result, there are Maple Sunday events all over the state.
Maine Maple Sunday is always honored on the last Sunday in March, but some sugarhouses schedule their own events for Saturday as well. Here are some of the known producers around Augusta who'll offer something special for the big day:
