Original Carlisle Rules taken from NH Maple Quality Control Manual 1993 by NHDA UNH Extension and NHMPA.
NH winners of first, second, and third places in the “open class” at any established Agricultural Fair in NH will be eligible to compete for the Carlisle Trophy. Final competition for the Carlisle Trophy will take place at the annual meeting of the NH Maple Producers Association and the trophy will be presented at that time. Contestants in the final competition must enter a one-quart sample of syrup in a commercial container. Entries must be delivered to the Secretary of the Association before 10:00am on the day of the annual meeting.
NH agricultural fairs provide maple producers an opportunity to compete for excellence. The awards presented to exhibitors publicly recognizes the skill required to make quality maple products, promotes the individual’s products to consumers, and exhibiting helps to promote maple to the general public as well.
Prospective exhibitors are advised to contact the fair(s) for a copy of their premium book describing the different sections classes and rules for that specific fair.
Amendments to existing Carlisle Rules will read as this:
1) Maple syrup destined for the Carlisle competition, must be designated as a Carlisle entry when entered into a New Hampshire fair. All entries must be produced in New Hampshire, and be entered by the person who produced it.
2) Each entrant must be a paid member of the New Hampshire Maple Producers Association before submitting syrup designated as a Carlisle entry at any fair. There will be no exceptions.
3) The same lot of syrup which won first, second or third place at a New Hampshire fair should be the one entered into the Carlisle competition.
4) Only one entry per sugar house will be allowed into the Carlisle competition of the New Hampshire Maple Producers Association.
5) Only New Hampshire Grade A maple syrup may be considered for the Carlisle competition, and the first place should be awarded to the entry that best represents the characteristics of grade as set forth by the State of New Hampshire Department of Agriculture.
6) All score sheets will be on file with the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, and will be the official New Hampshire Maple Judging Score Sheet
