Current Boiling Schedule

Updated: Monday, March 23

We are closing in on the end of the season, and are expecting only a few more days of sap collection.  Here is our boiling schedule for rest of the season:

Saturday, March 28:   10am - 4pm, drop in visitors are welcome.

Sunday, March 29:  LAST BOIL!!!  10am - 2:00pm, drop in visitors are welcome. 

Feel free to swing by during the times listed above, reservations are not necessary. Park on the street not in the driveway (and please don't block any of our neighbor's driveways or mailboxes). You can walk up our driveway and go around the left side of the house (follow the path).  You may want to wear your boots as there will be mud on the way back to the sugar house. If the sign is up at the end of the street, we are boiling because the first and last thing we do is put up and take down the sign.

Preparing for the 2009 season

February 7th, 2009 at 10:27 am (News)

Sorry to everyone that has come to the site so far this year and found terribly outdated content.  We have been busy with life as well as getting ready for the season.  Sometimes it seems we are stretched a bit too thin.  But we are very excited for the upcoming season!

We are in the process of cleaning the sugarhouse, repairing the equipment, and getting ready to run tubing (we are always looking for volunteers).  We expect to run tubing during the last two weeks of February. Most likely in the last week of February we will be tapping the trees in expectation that the beginning of March will kickoff the beginning of the season.  The perfect weather for set flow is daytime temperatures in the 40’s and overnight below freezing.  Although the groundhog says that there is many more weeks of winter we believe that the beginning of spring is right around the corner.

We are hoping for a plentiful season of sap flow, because all indications are that we are sure to have a successful season in terms of visitors. We have already booked 28 groups for tours, not to mention all of the drop-in visitors we are expecting.  Last year we had 1,750 visitors for free tours (a new record), not sure if we will beat that this year.  We’re getting antsy for the season to begin, and look forward to the upcoming weeks in March!
