The maple syrup season in New Brunswick was off to an early start this year, according to local producers.
Nathan Scott co-owns Dumfries Maples in Dumfries N.B., a 30-minute drive from Fredericton. He and his team produce maple sap and turn it into syrup, maple butter and taffy.
Scott said the sap came early this year, a welcome change to a slow season last year.
“We’re still hopeful that it may just work out to be an average season or maybe a little better, we’ll wait and see,” he said.
He said they began producing syrup a week earlier than last year, and he’s not the only one.
“It is definitely an early season. A late season, we don’t get maple sap until the end of March or early April,” Paul Reynolds, Little Mactaquac Maples owner, said.
That means he can offer tours during March break, bringing in more revenue.
However, he and Scott were clear that an early start does not necessarily mean a good season. For sap to run, producers need freezing nights and warm days, meaning the real results of the season won’t be evident until late April or May.
