Kentucky Maple School taps into state’s sweet potential

There’s gold in Kentucky’s hills, gold as in maple syrup, that is. Though many think of maple syrup as a New England product, Kentucky woodlands are ripe for the tapping. For anyone interested in maple syrup production, The Kentucky Maple School is a good place to garner important information.

University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service and the Kentucky Maple Syrup Association will present the free, annual school in a virtual format this year, with sessions taking place on the social conferencing platform Zoom, 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ET, Nov. 7. Beginning and experienced producers, as well as those just interested in maple syrup production, will find the sessions interesting and informative.
