Tapped into a sweet success

The sap is flowing, and the state's maple producers are hard at work collecting, boiling and bottling syrup.

Portland Press Herald March 22, 2009

Today, Maine Maple Sunday, he'll have an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 folks visit his place to taste his syrup, watch how it's made and generally enjoy a day on the farm.

It's also a marketing triumph for Maine's maple syrup producers, many of whom make syrup only as a hobby or side business.

The idea for Maine Maple Sunday came from a small group of maple producers who approached the Maine Department of Agriculture about helping to promote it, said Jane Aiudi, director of the Division of Market and Production Development for the department.

Jim's comments: Field of Dreams was a movie. People don't just come. This success reflects hard work at promoting a nice event! Well done.
