Maple Syrup Producer of the Year
Maple Tap Farm won the 2024 maple syrup contest and was awarded the title “Producer of the Year”. You will find their syrup on our freshly made pancakes at the 2025 festival!
Maple Tap Farm started in 1969 with Wally Sallans, who at the age of 13 started making maple syrup with his grandfather. He started with a few pails and continued adding to the operation gradually over the years, growing it to almost 4000 taps, at the time of his passing last year.
The Maple Syrup tradition is continued on by Wally’s son, Andrew and daughter in law, Jennifer.
