Description
Celebrate the sweetest season of the year! As winter gives way to spring, the maples awaken, and the sugarhouse fills with the irresistible aroma of boiling sap.
Sign up for a deliciously immersive, hour-and-a-half experience:
- Stroll through the woods on a small-group guided walk to learn how to spot a sugar maple and see traditional tapping and sap collection in action.
- Step inside the sugarhouse and watch the magic happen as sap transforms into golden syrup.
- Get crafty in the nature center, which will be stocked with activities and games
- Warm up by the fire pit or in our cozy, heated barn, where live music sets the mood and maple popcorn, sweet treats, and good company await.
Take home the flavor of the season—freshly bottled maple syrup will be available for purchase.
