Passamaquoddy Maple Sweetness Comes to Maine Audubon

This Sunday is Maine Maple Sunday. Around the state, Mainers will be venturing out to sugar shacks to see how maple syrup is produced — and to enjoy some maple treats at the end of a long winter!

A bottle of Passamaquoddy maple syrup
Passamaquoddy maple syrup is now available in our Nature Store!

For centuries, the Passamaquoddy people have harvested sap from the Mahgan (sugar maple) tree. In 2014, the Passamaquoddy Tribe purchased sustainable tapping equipment, built sugar houses, and raised a bottling facility on tribal land. Since then, they have produced over 1,000 gallons of Grade A syrup and become organic-certified by the Maine Organic Farmers & Growers Association (MOFGA).

It’s delicious — but don’t take our word for it. Now you can pick up your own Passamaquoddy maple syrup (and a variety of delicious maple sugar products) at the Maine Audubon Nature Store at Gilsland Farm in Falmouth. We hope to see you here soon!
