to tour – route map available by calling (800) 775-8687 or 440-632-1538 or available at
www.tourgeauga.com after Feb. 1st.
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.
