The sugar maple is Vermont's state tree and the source of its famous maple syrup.
In a cold climate the maple tree stores starch in its roots which is converted to sugar, as the winter goes on to give the tree energy.
Harvesting maple syrup every spring is deeply woven into Vermont's history.
Maple syrup from all of Vermont is the finest quality and labeled Grade A, and differentiated by taste and color.
Producing over 2 million gallons of syrup in 2020, Vermont generated over 50 percent of the country's maple syrup.
