“Love and maple syrup goes together.”
Every year in early March New England sugar shacks start to gather and boil the woody and unique sweetness of pure maple tree sap.
It's a tradition in our family to visit all the maple shacks open for Maine Maple Sunday. It's a special time once a year when all the sugar houses throw open their doors and give everyone a taste of the year's crop and a demonstration of how the boiling works.
They all usually have samples of this years syrup and some even have a full breakfast, one horse open sleigh rides, cross country skiing, farm visits, and a full farm store.
Here is a list of our favorite Maple Boilers that we try to visit every year, but also check out the Maine Maple Producers main website for the full list.
