CONCORD ― on Thursday, Gov. Kelly Ayotte joined the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture and New Hampshire Maple Producers Association at Sunnyside Maples in Loudon for a ceremonial tree tapping to kick off New Hampshire Maple Weekend.
“New Hampshire Maple Weekend is a time-honored tradition, and I’m proud to support the hardworking maple producers who have carried it on for generations,” said Gov. Ayotte. “I encourage everyone to go out and visit a local sugarhouse this weekend. Whether it’s mixed into your morning coffee or poured over a stack of pancakes, New Hampshire maple syrup is the best there is.”
The governor also highlighted the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture’s “Natively New Hampshire” initiative to showcase home-grown agricultural products in the Granite State.
Maple Weekend is a statewide celebration of New Hampshire maple syrup. For one weekend in March, participating sugarhouses welcome visitors to experience how maple syrup is made.
