Upcoming Schedule
Update: Monday, February 25
Over the last several weekends we put up all of our tubing in preparation for tapping. As of last night, we have now tapped nearly 400 of our 500+ taps. The sap was definitely flowing yesterday, and will be flowing today and potentially tomorrow as well. That said, we are projecting that we will have our first boil of the season on Wednesday night this week, probably starting around 6pm. Check back on Wednesday, February 27th for final confirmation.
To Join Us For A Boil
We are more than happy to share our passion with you. We can talk with you about everything from identifying trees to tubing, tapping and the history of maple sugaring. You will be able to see our evaporator running and sample sap multiple times as it goes through the finishing process to eventually become syrup. We will tell you about filtering, bottling and grading and will tell you about the process of making maple candy.
We’re located at 25 Turtle Lane in North Andover - second house on the right. When we boil we put a sign out at the intersection of Salem Street and Turtle Lane. We welcome visitors, so feel free to stop by if you’d like to see our operation. When you arrive, just park on the street and walk up the driveway and around the house to the back yard where you’ll see the sugar house. C’mon in and check it out! There are many new things since last year, so you are sure to see and hear something new.
Schedule - 2008
We are just beginning to build our schedule for the upcoming season. When we are closer to the beginning of the season, check back here to see our scheduled tours and open visiting hours.
Be sure to be prepared for some mud - with the warm days there is quite a bit of mud on the way back to the sugar house.
