Description
Enjoy a 2-hour, small group, maple sugaring experience. Learn how to identify a sugar maple, tap it, and observe firsthand how we produce delicious maple syrup in the traditional way. Begin by hiking down to the Maple Grove to tap your own tree and collect fresh sap, and then it's back to the steamy sugarhouse to learn how sweet syrup is made. Finally, gather around the fire pits and enjoy pancakes off the grill topped with our fresh maple syrup.
One adult admission is valid for a group of up to 5 individuals (including children) and includes an 8-ounce bottle of Ipswich River maple syrup!
