(Litchfield, Conn./WTIC) - This is the middle of maple syrup producing season in Connecticut.
Hundreds, including around 200 who make syrup for commercial sale, have been busy tapping maple trees to collect sap, which is then boiled down into syrup.
Typically, the sugaring season runs from the beginning of February through March, according to the president of the Maple Syrup Producers Association of Connecticut, Mark Harran.
He says information is on their web site, ctmaple.org.
Harran says there, you'll find information on sugar houses open to the public that sell Connecticut produced maple syrup.
He says weather conditions for syrup production need to be ideal: nights below freezing, with daytime temperatures in the 40s.
