When the seasons change in Wisconsin and the snow begins to shrink back in the forest, magic happens. Maple season arrives, and drip by drip, sweet goodness is collected by the state’s maple syrups producers. If you have the time and the trees, you can collect and cook down some of your own, but the next-best thing can be found at shops in northern Wisconsin. Maple Hollow has been producing some of the best maple syrup in Wisconsin, and it’s well worth a road trip. Here’s what you need to know about Maple Hollow.
