First Woman to Become Maple Syrup Certified
Leah Duckert-Kroll is the Richfield Historical Society's first woman to get certified to make syrup with the Maple Syrup Crew. Here's what she has to say about the experience: “I would like to express my gratitude to the Richfield Historical Society for providing such an enriching education in maple syrup collection and production."
In order to receive our certification, it is necessary to participate in every step starting with tapping through putting the label on the finished bottle of syrup.
