Maple Syrup 📍

"Doug Thompson, 68, has been tapping maple trees since he was a kid growing up in the North Country. Like many long-time maple producers in Upstate New York, Thompson says things are changing."

"We’ve been making syrup here my whole lifetime,” said Thompson, who taps about 9,000 trees in and around Gouverneur, in St. Lawrence County. “In general, we’re seeing the maple season starting two weeks earlier than when I was a kid."
