New Brunswick maple syrup producers nearing end of another strong season

Canadian maple producers harvested a record 17.4 million gallons in 2022, an increase of 53.8 per cent from 2021.
On the tail end of another maple syrup season, some producers in southern New Brunswick are ready to chalk it up as a sweet success.
At Elmhurst Outdoors, a small site near Kingston, N.B., Mother Nature has provided the right mix of warm days and cool nights to keep the taps flowing.
“It’s been great, we started out with a booming run, which we’re still boiling now, and by the looks of the weather, we’re going to have some really good runs in the future as well, so I think we’re looking into a good season,” said Gig Keirstead, who co-owns the property with his wife Denise Howlett.
Keirstead and Howlett, former teachers, have owned Elmhurst Outdoors for decades, using their sugar bush to teach students and provide tours to the public.
“We’re a small, very small producer in the scheme of things, but our take on it has always been the interpretive part,” said Howlett.
While small in production size — they produce between 30 and 40 gallons a year — Elmhurst remains a part of the substantial maple syrup industry across New Brunswick.
In 2022, according to Statistics Canada, New Brunswick producers tapped their way to 810.9,000 gallons of maple syrup.
