Bonus Update: In addition to our standard 6 samples (maple sap, mid-boil, maple syrup, maple cream, maple candy & maple sugar) we have a special extra sample this weekend thanks to Mad Maggie's Ice Cream (www.madmaggies.com)... we will give people a taste of their newest flavor Maple Bacon Ice Cream. Tried it tonight and it is delish! Thanks Steve!

And There's More: All weekend at Joe Fish (www.joefish.net) they are serving the following for their lunch and dinner maple special... Pecan Crusted Mahi-Mahi with Turtle Lane Farm Maple Glaze: Fresh Mahi oven roasted with a pecan crust, drizzled with a Turtle Lane Farm Maple Glaze, accompanied by a medley of tri-colored roasted potatoes and fresh vegetables

Great News!! We just collected nearly 400 gallons of sap. That means we will be boiling this weekend. Not sure how long the season will last, so if you think you want to learn about sugaring, or visit a sugar house this year... do it this weekend!!  And don't let the rain stop you.  If it is bad out, we do the tours inside and there is plenty of room.  You would be surprised how some sugar can make you smile on a rainy day. So come experience a real New England tradition and join us this weekend!

The sap run has been terrible to put it mildly.  It has been too warm at night, and the 10 day forecast doesn't look much better.  We are hoping something changes and we get some cold nights, otherwise we might not have much of a season. 

Saturday, March 13:  9:00am - 4:00pm, drop in visitors are welcome.

Sunday, March 14:  9:00am - 4:00pm, drop in visitors are welcome.

If tentative is stated, it means provided that Mother Nature cooperates and provides some weather in the 40's during the day and overnight temps below freeazing.  We update our voice mail at home as well, so if you are ever wondering if it's a good time to stop by, check back to our website or give us a call.

Feel free to swing by, reservations are not necessary. Park on the street not in the driveway (and please don't block any of our neighbor's driveways). You can walk up the driveway and go around the left side of the house (follow the path). You will see the lights of the sugar house. You may want to bring 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.

We will update this schedule every couple of days, so check back often for the latest!

Preparing for the holidays

November 23rd, 2009 at 12:31 pm (Facebook, News)

Although the sugaring season is long been over for 2009, we have still been busy. There seems to be no end of cleaning, wood chopping and more cleaning. Throw in some re-bottling, candy and cream making for good measure, followed up by more cleaning.

As is the tradition of Turtle Lane Maple Farm, we will be making Holiday Baskets again this year. This weekend we re-bottled syrup from bulk containers which we filled back in March during season, into glass maple bottles which make beautiful gifts. Over the next couple days we will be making maple cream and maple candy. Then during the weekend after Thanksgiving (we hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!) we will be assembling the baskets.

And don’t forget, if you are giving gifts and want to give something with a local flavor, our bottles of pure local maple syrup make an extra special gift.
