Here's one sign Spring is on the way, farmers across the state are showcasing their hard work as Maple Weekend kicks off.

New York State is the second largest producer of maple syrup.

Farms are inviting the public to tour their maple sugar houses and see how the sweet stuff is made.

Many hope visitors walk away with new knowledge about the product.

Many locations also offer up a number of different maple flavored products you can try and purchase.

Maple Weekend continues Sunday and next weekend.
