Nine state maple syrup producers will now be able to sell their products at the Wisconsin State Fair this summer. That's after they received perfect scores in a judging contest this month, held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Wisconsin Maple Syrup Producers Association.
Out of 48 entries, the following sugar bushes were presented with blue ribbons for their top ranking entries: Grandpa Kissinger, Elkhart Lake; Hedmark's Maple Ridge, Florence; S&S Sugar Bush, Ellsworth; Chippewa View Maple, Durand; Sugar John's, Cadott; B&H Maple Syrup, Chilton; Hansen's Sugar Shack, Marshfield; and Bauer Valley Maples, Cazenova.
The syrup is judged on density of sugar content, color, flavor, clarity, retail container and labeling of the container.
This producers are now able to offer their syrup at the Products Pavilion at the Wisconsin State Fair.
