Local Maple Syrup available at Shawnee Prairie Preserve
This has been an outstanding season for maple syrup production at the
Darke County Parks! Volunteers and staff began boiling sap in early
February and have bottled over 200 pints of delicious maple syrup. The
maple syrup produced is 100% natural, free from artificial coloring,
and is derived solely from trees in Darke County. Not only does natural
maple syrup taste much better, but it also contains many vitamins and
minerals including zinc, potassium, manganese, thiamine, calcium, iron,
magnesium, and riboflavin. Pint jars and decorative maple leaf jars of
syrup are now available in the gift shop at the Shawnee Prairie
Preserve Nature Center and the Bish Discovery Center. Swing in and grab
a jar of tasty local maple syrup today! Cash and check
accepted.
Mark your calendar! Don’t miss the annual Waffle Breakfast and
Sugarbush Tours on March 7th from 8am-12pm. Tickets are $6 for adults
and $3 for children. For more details, visit www.darkecountyparks.org
or call 937-548-0165.
