Canadian Heritage Organics takes pride in producing 100% organic maple products that do not contain any artificial additives, coloring, preservatives or chemicals. When selecting a maple syrup, a darker color indicates a stronger flavor. Once manufactured, maple syrup is graded by producers to meet federal standards. Grades refer to the color and flavor of the syrup and the grades of maple syrup are: No. 1 – Extra Light, Light, or Medium No. 2 - Amber No. 3 - Dark Medium Maple Syrup is acquired in mid-season, when temperature changes are moderate. Dark Maple Syrup is achieved at the season end when temperature changes are very slight.

Here in Bagdad, KY we fall under Zone 6B for planting/growing! Living in this zone means it's time to start indoor planting if you want to get a jumpstart on your growing season and make the most of it. Now, some prefer to plant seeds direct into the ground and that's ok! But here at Sweet Maple Farms we provide produce to our local community and our CSA Share Members which means we have to be ahead of the game in order to get produce to our customers ASAP and starting seeds indoors is what helps us get the job done. Did you know that with ice on the ground (still) you can start your spring/summer garden? We have compiled a list of items you can go ahead and think about starting THIS MONTH! Not local to us? Click HERE to find your growing zone! This planting season we have decided to provide a series of posts that explain exactly what and when seeds can be started, transplanted or even just planted straight into the ground. Last year, this was one of our top questions we would get from followers in our region and customers we would meet and greet at the Farmers Market. PLUS this post makes a great future reference for us personally in future seasons to see quickly
After successfully eliminating all refined sugar from my diet (you have to constantly read labels because companies change ingredients without you otherwise knowing....) I decided that I wanted to bake with honey, dates, or maple syrup wherever I could. I wrote about converting recipes to honey here and this post will share the few steps to take when converting recipes to using maple syrup. Maple Syrup contains antioxidants as well as minerals like zinc & potassium as well as a lower glycemic index, meaning your blood sugar won't spike as much when you eat it. Maple syrup is similar in sweetness to white sugar. It is liquid instead of granular, and cooks a bit differently. All of these factors must be considered when converting a recipe. Here are the basic guidelines: For every 1/2 cup of sugar, use 1/3 - 1/2 cup of maple syrup. For every 1/4 cup of maple syrup, decrease liquids by 1 Tablespoon. (*if there are no liquids, add 1 scant Tablespoon extra flour per 1/4 cup maple syrup used*) Reduce oven temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure to bring refrigerated maple syrup to room temperature prior to incorporating ingredients. Although maple syrup isn't the perfect solution to all baked goods (the flavor can range from mild to robust), with a little trial and error you'll figure out which items it fits perfectly in!

I drive by this row of trees just about every morning on my way into the office, and every year around this time they're tapped to collect maple sap, presumably to be boiled down into syrup. I’ve always liked the way these trees look, so I made a point of getting some pictures today. (Bonus! Getting a shot I liked for my 365 early in the day.) I'm pretty sure these trees are on the campus of the Walnut Hill School for the Arts, although I don't know if it’s the school itself that taps them or if they just make the trees available to someone. And I did take a peek: the sap is indeed running. Nikon D7000 with Nikkor 18-200 @ 48mm, 1/45s @ ƒ/8, ISO100. Post-processed in Aperture (some color tweaks, slight vignette).
