Ohio maple syrup
Maple syrup is a late-winter crop. Sap runs when nights freeze and days warm up to around 40°F, and collection ends in late March or early April, just before the buds open. That short window is why every bottle is a small batch.
Geauga County, in the northeast corner of the state, is known for its Maple Festival, and about a fifth of its residents are Amish, a community with a long tradition of sugaring.

Why is real maple syrup expensive?
Because of the ratio: it takes roughly 43 to 50 gallons of sugar maple sap to boil down to one gallon of syrup, and the season only lasts a few weeks.
When is maple syrup season in Ohio?
Late winter into early spring. Most tapping happens before Presidents' Day, and the run ends in late March or early April when the buds swell.
