On a naturalist-guided walk, learn how to identify a sugar maple, observe tapping and sap collection methods, watch the sap being boiled down in the sugarhouse, and get a sweet taste of the final product.
Bottles of our own freshly made maple syrup will be available for purchase. Tours last about an hour and run in all weather.
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.
