Maple Mania at UMF an industry showcase
At the first annual three-day Maple Mania conference put on by the Maine Maple Producers Association in Farmington, 85 maple syrup producers, distributors and vendors attended technical workshops, browsed a trade show at the University of Maine at Farmington, and visited area sap houses to see different sap collecting and syrup boiling techniques. At the trade show, Bill LaPlante, left, of Artisan Printing of Vermont, which specializes in custom glass maple syrup containers and labels, talks to Ashley Gerry of Sugar Hill Farm in Newfield and Harry Hartford, owner of Thurston and Peters Sugarhouse in West Newfield.
FARMINGTON — According to local lore, Farmington was where Maine's first maple syrup was sold back in 1820. So it was fitting that this was where the the first three-day educational conference in Maine was held.
The syrup connection dates back to 1781 when Stephen Titcomb, one of the town's early settlers, made his first maple sugar on land he cleared and where he built a cabin. His descendants continue the sugaring tradition today at Maple Hill Farm on Titcomb Hill Road, and a cast iron kettle, believed to be Titcomb's and used for years by his son, Joseph, to make sugar, is part of the family's memorabilia.
About 85 people involved in the maple syrup business – from producers to distributors to vendors – attended the Maine Maple Producers Association event that ran from Thursday to Saturday.
They attended technical workshops to learn about the latest equipment, invasive pests and plants, organic certification and better ways to market and brand their businesses.
They browsed a trade show held at the University of Maine at Farmington, spent Friday touring area sap houses and enjoyed evening entertainment. But there was still plenty of time to talk syrup.
“This is all about promoting the education of maple syrup production in Maine. It's a chance for these folks to learn more about the new technologies and share what they know with others. And they are doing it right here in Maine,” Eric Ellis, president of the association and manager of Maine Maple Products in Madison, said.
The conference was modeled on similar longtime events held annually in other maple syrup-producing states in New England that many Mainers traveled to attend.
“We wanted to bring that same level of education that people were getting at out-of-state conferences to Maine and have this showcase the kind of maple syrup enterprises we have here,” Ellis said during lunch on Friday, after the group returned from the first round of sap houses tours.
