What is MSPAC ?

MSPAC stands for Maple Syrup Producers Association of Connecticut, Inc., a nonprofit, 501(c)(5) organization of individuals bound together by their common interest in sugaring for fun and profit.

The Mission of MSPAC

The Association’s stated objective is to encourage the production and handling of high-quality maple syrup products in Connecticut.  This is done by providing a medium for mutual recognition and exchange of information among its members.

Some members produce up to 25 gallons per year; others produce 100 or more gallons; still others are just interested.

What does MSPAC do?

MSPAC, Inc. holds at least two informational meetings each year when invited guest speakers emphasize practical, how-to-do-it topics covering all aspects of sugaring.  Free literature and lively discussion are always available.

MSPAC, Inc. publishes a periodic newsletter called "A Drop in the Bucket" for members including articles, timely suggestions and a free wanted to buy, sell or swap column.  Also included with your membership is a subscription to the “Maple Syrup Digest" published by the North American Maple Syrup Council.

MSPAC, Inc. is a member of the North American Maple Syrup Council.  MSPAC also works closely with a number of other state agencies including the Connecticut Department of Agriculture, The University of Connecticut’s Cooperative Extension System, and the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station in New Haven.
