Abstract:

Doug Monroe of Ashe County and John Swann of Yancey County are two maple syrup makers in the state who have tapped into a niche market. It takes forty-five gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup. Monroe has 250 taps and Swann has 400 so their production is limited, and they sell their syrup only locally.
