Learn about a locally grown product made in Maynard, Massachusetts. Come join us for an evening of observing how the delicious treat of maple syrup is made from the sap of local sugar maple trees. We will take you through the steps of sap collection and boiling down the sap into maple syrup; mother nature’s natural sweetener. You will see a short film that explains the maple process and hear how Maynard Maple operates and produces our maple syrup. We will offer information on how to tap your own trees and boil the sap into syrup. A maple tasting is included!
Ron Kay’s love for making maple syrup began way up in the White Mountains of Northern NH. He and his brother discovered a neighbor tapping a maple tree. Ron was intrigued and so he and his brother tapped their first trees and boiled the sap right in their backyard. Throughout the rest of his childhood, Ron continued with his favorite hobby of making maple syrup.
Fast forward to 1983 when he moved to his current residence in Maynard, MA. There, Ron took up where he’d left off and followed his passion of making maple syrup, tapping neighborhood trees, and boiling the sap right in his backyard. For many years Ron made maple syrup as a hobby and in 2007, he shifted careers and decided to pursue maple sugaring full time.
