1 min read

HARRISBURG -- Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding recently kicked off Pennsylvania's maple tapping-season at Dewy Meadows Farm in Warren Center, Bradford County, celebrating Pennsylvania's maple syrup industry alongside the Pennsylvania Maple Producers Council and Pennsylvania Hardwoods Development Council.

"Pennsylvania agriculture is a sweet business to be in," Redding said. "There's no better place to tell that story than on a family-run maple farm like Dewy Meadows."

Pennsylvania is the nation's 5th largest producer of pure maple syrup, producing nearly 200,000 gallons per year worth $5.4 million. Dewy Meadows Maple, a Pennsylvania Century Farm, has been passed down through generations of the Andrew and Sally Dewing family, who have made maple syrup and sugar there for more than a century.
