As winter gives way to spring, Ontario’s Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is encouraging consumers to take a trip to a local maple syrup producer to try sweet, local, and delicious maple syrup.
With the variety of maple products available, there's a maple syrup colour and flavour intensity to please everyone's taste.
During Ontario's maple harvest season, mid-February to early April, more than two million litres of syrup is produced.
