Sign up for the 2026 Maple Madness Tour is here. You do not need to be a maple syrup producer in order to be a tour stop. Local restaurants that use pure maple syrup, breweries that make maple beer, farmer’s markets with maple soaps or candles – all are welcome to participate!
The tour is noticeably later in 2026 because of how the calendar falls. It has traditionally been the 1st and 2nd weekends of March, so please notice the 2026 dates in particular. While many producers may not be making syrup, particularly by the second weekend, that’s okay. If the season is wrapped up, you will have a better chance to clean up, present a tidy sugarhouse, spend more time talking to maple enthusiasts, and spend less energy trying to avoid scorching a pan! Beyond maple, consider other activities that you can provide for tour participants – tractor rides, games for the kids, just about anything that falls under farm tourism and probably much much more.
Full details are included on the Maple Madness Registration Form-2026, but it is worth noting that your Ohio Maple Producers Association annual membership is included in the tour fee. The sign-up deadline is November 14th, so don’t delay! Please contact Jen Freeman (440-487-1660; jen@richardsmapleproducts.com) if you have any questions.
