Maple Syrup: Nectar Of The Gods

Welcome to the Connected To The Land podcast, sponsored by Peavey Mart.

In this episode, Ian sits down and talks to Maple Syrup expert Tom Shaw. Shaw Catering / the Shaw Family Farm has a very rich history. Located in Oro-Medonte, Ontario, the original farm was purchased in 1858 as a pig farm and to harvest firewood, and it has been in the family ever since. The first maple syrup was produced on the farm in 1904. Tom Shaw has a diploma of agriculture from the University of Guelph, and is a fifth generation syrup maker.
