Vermont is the top producer of maple syrup in the U.S., contributing over 50% of the nation’s supply (about 3 million gallons each year). The sap will flow during the spring when there are freezing nights and warm days, which will usually last for only about 4-6 weeks. About 40 gallons of sap boil down to 1 gallon of maple syrup.
