Maple Syrup Club Interest
Do you want to know how maple syrup is made? Would you like to join The Maple Syrup Club in making the sweet nectar of the gods? It is as simple as tapping the sap from a maple tree (preferably a sugar maple) and then boiling the clear sap down to its sweet, amber-colored, syrup form. THE SWEET NECTAR OF THE GODS HAS BEEN CREATED!
If you are interested in learning more about the process or being a part of the process, there will be an informational meeting sometime in the future, but if you are interested in how the whole process works, shoot me (Mr. Sap Man) an email at ofgorter@mtu.edu with your name, year, saying that you’re interested in The Maple Syrup Club and any questions you may have about the club!
