Although maple sugaring may happen once a year, the sweet taste of maple syrup and sugar can be enjoyed year-round. The process of making maple sugar, or sugaring, starts with collecting the maple sap from the trees in the late winter. Once the sap is collected and has been strained, it is time to boil. This is a long process because the boiling sap must be watched to prevent it from boiling over or burning. 11am – 2pm.
