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.
- Take a small-group guided walk through the woods 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.
