MDAR Commissioner Scott Soares taps a maple tree to signify the beginning of  the agricultural season.  It’s the start of the maple season, our first harvest of crop here in Massachusetts,” said Commissioner Scott Soares, who told the crowd who attended that aside from cranberries, maple syrup is considered a signature product of the state.

J.P. and I were thrilled to attend this event and celebrate sugar makers across Massachusetts. Let’s hope we all have a SWEET success from our farms!
