Event Description
What better way to deal with winter than to skip it altogether? Steve Childs, Cornell Maple Specialist, will be joining us on Saturday, December 12 at 8:30 a.m. for the 2015 Onondaga County Maple School.
We will be meeting at the DeWitt Community Room, 148 Sanders Creek Parkway, East Syracuse. Steve will discuss maple production for the beginner: why make maple syrup, what trees give you sweet sap, tapping, collecting sap, boiling, equipment, knowing when its finished, filtering, canning, storing and using maple syrup.
Following Steve’s talk we’ll visit a local sugar bush and hear how Steve Caccamo caught maple sugar madness! For those who wish stay for the final stop, the group will return to East Syracuse and visit Next Generation Maple Products located at 6018 Wilbur Rd. East Syracuse, NY 13057. Steve Caccamo is not only a sugar maker but also a manufacturer of maple equipment, including the backyard reverse osmosis machine, which was made available this year. Steve will talk about the manufacturing side of his business and show us what he is working on now. The day should finish around 1:30 p.m.
