"Takes readers into the forests and sugar shacks of New England . . . Filled with entertaining anecdotes, traditional knowledge and recipes." —Waterbury Republican-American

These stories, told by real-life sugarmakers, reveal how this ancient industry has continued into the twenty-first century. Thanks to the newest technology—and the old-fashioned virtue of patience—New England sugarmakers are still keeping it real.

A former maple sugarmaker and board member of the Maple Syrup Producers' Association of Connecticut, David Leff takes us on a journey into the very heart of New England's character. Along the way he talks with the sugar gurus, who share their expertise, insights, and anecdotes about their experiences in the business. What makes maple sugaring such a beloved tradition? Is it marketing savvy or something deeper—and harder to tap? This book is for anyone with a sweet tooth who is curious about the science, or simply enjoys a good story full of wisdom, quirky characters, and recipes.
