Explore maple sugaring

Sometimes Mapletree Farm will dispense syrup into these maple leaf-shaped glass containers, although these glass bottles are smaller and more expensive than the traditional plastic jugs. These glass bottles are good to give as a gift or a party favor.

Since Mother Nature didn't exactly cooperate with our idea for a maple syrup issue, we stopped by Mapletree Farm last week to actually see the sweet stuff being made.

Maple Weekend and Month festivities might have been damped by social distancing, but sugar houses continue to operate for as long the sap flows and there is syrup to sell. Contact sugar sellers to see if you can stop by or see if online ordering is available to get that sugar rush.
