Maple Sugaring at Brookside Farm

How sweet it is!  When we get to the spring equinox, our hearts begin to soar with the warming temperatures.  Likewise, the trees begin to thaw, and the sap starts to flow, making a taste treat that can’t be beat. Have you ever thought about maple  sugaring at home but weren’t sure how to start?  It’s Maple Sugar Weekend in New York!  How about spending some time learning how to make syrup?  Join us at Brookside Farm in Branchport for sugaring 19th century style – just buckets full of sap, a wood fire, and horses!  Yes, horses! Put on your rugged boots and your layers for an unparalleled outdoor adventure.  Join us for a unique experience that it is a fun hands-on learning opportunity that’s so low tech anyone can do it.  You will see that sugaring is accessible and possible for anyone.  You can do it wherever you live, even in the city!  Our host and renowned outdoorsman DJ Kitzel will take us back in time to see how maple syrup has been made for hundreds of years.  Oh, and of course, there will be pancakes!
