Tips and Reminders for Maple Weekends:
- Please be prepared for snow/mud on grounds as Winter transitions to Spring. We encourage you to dress for the weather and wear mud/snow/rain proof boots around the farmyard and through the fields to the maple grove and sugar shack!
- Maple weekend programs only occur on good-weather days. RSVP for a specific weekend day (we'll send an email reminder), and if weather is questionable please check here before coming to ensure that the program is still on.
- Admission fee includes guided and experiential activities for the whole family including: collecting maple sap, maple sap boiling demonstration, live music, and educational history display.
- Pancakes, maple syrup, and other food and drink are available for sale but not included in the admission fee. Please bring and use cash, check, credit card, venmo, or paypal to pay separately for these items
- For individuals and family members who are not able to walk though snow/mud across farm fields to the various activities, we do have art activities, food, and socially-distant music to share at the main hoop house. Some sleds are available to tow small children between stations, or please bring your own.
