Reading the map

Where Pennsylvania's sugaring happens

Somerset County alone holds 295,430 taps (32% of the state). Counties shaded lightest have the fewest taps; grey counties reported fewer than five maple farms and have no atlas page. Click any county for its season calendar.

USDA's reported Pennsylvania season ran from about Feb 25 to Mar 28 in a median year (12 years of records). Our weather signal for the same counties, weighted by farms, gives Feb 20 to Mar 24; county dates below are scaled so the state matches USDA, keeping only the within-state differences.

“Withheld” = USDA suppressed the figure to avoid disclosing individual operations. County totals need not sum to the state total for that reason.

About this page

Production figures are copied, unchanged, from Table 37 of the 2022 Census of Agriculture county volume for Pennsylvania. Season dates come from our county maple atlas: 36 seasons of daily temperatures at each county seat scored with the freeze-thaw rule behind our live forecast, calibrated against 117 state-seasons of USDA-reported dates.
