Yorktown will celebrate New York State Maple Weekend on March 21-22 and 28-29 with events highlighting the local maple syrup industry.
The festivities kick off with the annual Pancake Breakfast at the Yorktown Grange Hall. The celebration continues in the afternoon at White Oak Farm, which will host an open house and demonstration of maple syrup production. Visitors can learn about the process and purchase a variety of maple syrup products directly from the farm.
“Yorktown is proud to celebrate the rich tradition of New York’s maple season in our own backyard,” said Supervisor Ed Lachterman. “From the community camaraderie at the Grange Hall pancake breakfast to the impressive operations at White Oak Farm, these two weekends offer unique opportunities for families to connect with our agricultural roots and support the local producers who make our town so special.”
In 2024, New York produced 846,000 gallons of maple syrup, making the state the second largest producer in the U.S. behind Vermont, according to the state Department of Agriculture. White Oak Farm is the southernmost commercial maple syrup producer in New York.
