New Local Maple Business Opening This Weekend In Clinton Although some may consider Maple Season to be a fall tradition, you can enjoy the wonder of maple year-round at a brand new local business in Clinton, NY. The Shaw family began their personal maple business back in 2007 after a visit to a local high school's "Annual Maple Weekend." After attending that event, something just stuck. What started as a way of teaching their children the alternatives to unnatural and refined sweeteners has now grown to a retail business. Now, that retail business has it's own storefront. It's called Shaw's Maple Products.
