Corey’s Sugar Shack Homemade Maple Syrup Making Contest
Calling All Backyard Syrup Makers!

Think your homemade maple syrup has what it takes to rise above the rest?
Corey’s Sugar Shack, in partnership with family-owned and operated Justus Asthalter Maple Syrup, Inc., is proud to host a Homemade Maple Syrup Making Contest at the Ulster County Fair!

​

This is your chance to showcase your syrup-making skills, win ultimate bragging rights, and get expert advice from a true maple-making legend. Judging will be based on grade, clarity, and taste and will be conducted by Bryan Boyes, son/owner of 5th-generation maple producer and Leader Evaporator dealer Justus Asthalter Maple Syrup, Inc.
 

Every Entrant Wins More Than Just Bragging Rights!
All participants will have the exclusive opportunity to meet Bryan Boyes on Saturday and Sunday of the fair. Ask questions, get advice, and take your syrup-making skills to the next level with insights from one of the best in the business.

How to Enter

Submit two 8-ounce glass bottles of your maple syrup:

One bottle for grading/judging and one bottle for display at the fair.

Drop off or ship your syrup to Corey’s Sugar Shack by July 18, 2025.
