About Indiana Maple Syrup Association (IMSA)
The Indiana Maple Syrup Association is an organization of about 170 Hoosier maple syrup producers who make this natural product available for all to enjoy.
Our newsletter, The Tapline, is published quarterly. It provides news and information for maple syrup producers, hobbyists, and those interested in the maple industry in Indiana.
Our annual meeting is held on the first Saturday in December. Members hold their annual business meeting and elect members to the IMSA Board of Directors. The day includes special speakers and displays of maple syrup equipment and supplies provided by regional vendors. The day is educational and fun!
The Indiana Maple Syrup Association represents Hoosier producers through membership in the North American Maple Syrup Council.
We welcome Hoosier maple syrup producers and hobbyists in Indiana to become members of the Indiana Maple Syrup Association.
We encourage you to check out the benefits of joining IMSA!
