Did you know…Night time temperatures below freezing and sunny “warm” days (above freezing) is what it takes to get the maple sap flowing? That it takes approx. 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup?? A great way to experience Maple Sugaring first hand is to take part in the Maple Madness Driving Tour around Geauga County and surrounding areas, where approximately 20 Sugar Bushes are mapped out for your driving ease.

Visit Amish farms where sap is still collected by hand with a horse drawn sled pulled through the woods. Then learn about the more modern approach where gravity fed tubing runs from tree to tree, drawing sap to a central collection area. Watch as evaporators cook away the water that makeup the majority of the sap leaving only fresh pure syrup.

Enjoy sampling and the opportunity to purchase this fresh product to take home as a tasty reminder of this sweet day in the country.
