The Vermont Maple Sugar Makers Association and University of Vermont Extension will hold the 2020 Vermont Maple Conference Week online this year from Sunday, December 6th to Friday, December 11th. The Conference will feature 16 interactive online sessions directed at all levels of sugar makers, no matter the number of taps or years in operation.
You can find the full conference flyer with session presenters and descriptions on the VMSMA website here: https://vermontmaple.org/maple-conferences.
The Vermont Maple Conference will hold a session on Renting Taps to Enhance Viability on December 10th from 5 to 6 pm.
Would adding more taps improve your business? Do you own a woodland you would like to lease to sugarmakers?
This session by Mark Cannella will provide information on leasing taps and different approaches for setting rental rates. The new UVM Sugarbush Lease Guide and Sugarhouse Lease Guide will be presented and discussed.
Registration is required, but FREE this year! Participants need to register for each individual session they want to attend. Once registered, they will be emailed a link specific to that session (for phone or computer access). All sessions will be recorded so they can be watched (with captioning) at a later date.
