March set as Maple Syrup Month in Michigan

Well, it might not quite be maple syrup season yet in the U.P, with all this snow, but it's officially Maple Syrup Month in Michigan.

Excerpt: March has been tabbed as "Michigan Maple Syrup Month" to honor Michigan's selection of high quality pure Maple Syrup and the industry's contribution to the economy.

"Michigan Maple Syrup Month is a special time to acknowledge and recognize our vast, integrated network of family farmers, processors, wholesalers, and retailers who work to ensure a safe maple syrup supply to be enjoyed by consumers throughout our state and nation," said Jamie Clover Adams, Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) Director.
