For 40 years the Minnesota Maple Syrup Producers Association (MMSPA) has served the maple syrup industry of Minnesota . Incorporated as a non-profit membership association in 1966, the MMSPA has promoted quality maple products and provided information and education to members. We exist to support and encourage maple syrup production in Minnesota by hobbyists and licensed commercial producers alike.

Producers today owe a debt of gratitude MMSPA’s first president, Clifford Dalbey of Mora, Minnesota who, along with 13 other producers, formed the MMSPA in 1966. Today, over 80 maple syrup producer members across the state of Minnesota comprise the MMSPA.

The MMSPA is a non-profit membership organization dedicated to:

• Promoting the interests and welfare of Minnesota maple syrup producers;
• Improving sugar bush management;
• Expansion of markets for high quality maple products;
• Supporting maple syrup research by state and federal agencies;
• Joint efforts with the University of MN and MN Dept of Ag for advancing the maple syrup industry; and
• Supporting the North American Maple Syrup Council (NAMSC).
