Too cold for a sap run this week, come listen to Henry Marckres on Friday, February 16th. at 6pm at Silloway Maple. He will be describing his experiences in the maple industry. Some educational, some entertaining, Henry's talks are a one of a kind look into the world of maple. Now retired, Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets (VAAFM) Consumer Protection Chief and resident maple expert, Henry Marckres was inducted into the North American Maple Hall of Fame by the North American Maple Syrup Councel on Saturday May 14th. 2016.

"I am honored to be nominated to the Maple Hall of Fame." said Marckres. "Working with the international maple community has been a continuously rich experience - I think I've judged syrup from every single maple producing state and province! I look forward to continuing to support the promotion and understanding of this unique and valuable product."

The son of a buyer for a Maple Sugar Compsby, Marckres has been tasting and grading Vermont maple syrup since he was 3 years old. A 30-year veteran of the VAAFM, Henry Marckres is one of the world's foremost maple experts.
