March is being declared Massachusetts Maple Month.
Governor Maura Healey made the declaration Friday while visiting a farm in Warren.
The governor encouraged residents to buy local syrup, calling it an investment into the future of sustainable farming in the commonwealth.
Massachusetts produces more than 70-thousand-gallons of maple each year.
