The Lanark and District Maple Syrup Producers Association
Who we are...
We are an organization of approximately 60 maple syrup producers
located in the Lanark County, Frontenac County, Leeds & Grenville
County, and the Ottawa-Carleton areas of eastern Ontario. We are
one of 11 local areas who are members of the Ontario Maple Syrup
Producers Association (OMSPA),
a provincial organization formed in 1966 to represent syrup producers
across the province. As a producer organization we are committed
to promoting the production of high quality maple syrup and related
products using the best available management practices.
Our region of Ontario has a long history of maple syrup production, and we are proud to continue in that tradition.
What we do...
As producers, we would like to provide consumers with information
on the benefits of using maple syrup related products and where
to obtain locally produced maple syrup. We also are committed
to providing producers with a forum for networking, learning,
and contributing to the improvement of the maple syrup industry
in Ontario.
