Local Maple Syrup on Sale at The Lodge at Jackson Village!


They’ve done it again!  Visiting the Believe in Books Literacy Foundation  is always full of sweet surprises.  The maple trees  in their ‘Hundred Acre Wood’ have finished being tapped this season, and the sap boiled down in the sugar house.  The result?  A bumper crop of liquid gold, also known as New Hampshire Maple Syrup! Wow … is it good!  Ask any farmer and you will find that some years are good for syrup production, others not so much.  It all depends on the local conditions, such as the temperature, number of sunny days, amount of rain or snowfall, the combination of warm days and cold nights, and even the individual tree itself. Conditions this year were a perfect storm of the ideal in all categories, and resulted in a great crop of maple syrup, sugar, candy and maple butter. We are selling various quantities of their syrup again this year at The Lodge.  The profits go to the Believe in Books Literacy Foundation, a really “sweet” cause! http://www.believeinbooks.org/
