Hello! My name is Courtney Donnelly of DeKalb Junction, I was crowned New York State Maple Queen on May 20, 2006 at the American Maple Museum in Croghan. I am a third generation maple producer. I started out at my grandparent’s house Paul and Laura McAdam in Gouverneur using a flat pan fired with wood. I now help my mom, dad, and sister run the Orebed Sugar Shack. It is truly a family tradition though; there are three sugar bushes that are run in the family Bradley McAdam and family, Jennifer McAdam Rastley and family, and Grandma McAdam still operate in Gouverneur. Brent McAdam and family operate the Down Back Sugar Shack in Hermon.

Here are some good summer recipes I found. I hope you enjoy them. Courtney
