Celebrate Maple Sugaring Season!
Real maple syrup on fresh pancakes is the centerpiece of Mass Audubon's Drumlin Farm's annual Sap to Syrup Farmers Breakfast, but don't forget about our homemade sausage and roasted potatoes! Join us for a filling and fun breakfast on March 14 and 15 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. The cost is $14 for adults, $11 for children and free for children under 3. Reservations in advance are required. To register, please call 781-259-2206.
Before or after your breakfast explore the natural history of maple trees, and see how sap is collected from Drumlin Farm's sugar bush. Tours are ongoing between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm, and will include a visit to our evaporator, where we boil down the tree sap into the maple syrup we know and love. Learn how the Native Americans produced syrup and why the season is so short here in eastern Massachusetts. Finish your maple sugaring morning with a visit to the farmyard to see other spring surprises, including baby animals.
