The Steyer Brothers maple syrup company is abuzz with activity this week, as the sap is running in the maples, and that can only mean that winter is truly on its way out. Jessica Steyer, daughter of company owners Randall and Kay Steyer, knows exactly what she’s doing in the photo above, as her family has operated the farm for many years, and she grew up witnessing the process – and helping with it – every spring. She is on the staff now, along with her sister, Andrea Uphold. The family also operates Ryan’s Glade Dairy Farm. Staff from Maryland Public Television were on the property this week, Kay said, filming the sap-to-syrup process and interviewing the family. The TV station is doing a story about the Steyers for its Maryland Farm & Harvest program, which is to air sometime between November of this year and February 2015. The farm is located along Rt. 560.
