Maple Syruping
1,400+ trees tapped, from the tree to the bottle.
About the program
The farm taps over 1,400 maple trees, offering student-interns the opportunity to learn maple syrup production from the tree to the bottle. At the same time, they help run guided tours for elementary school students and adults, demonstrating techniques from the indigenous inhabitants of the area to the modern-day sugarhouse.
