Maple Sugaring at Howell Farm

Howell Living History Farm’s maple sugaring operations are in full swing in late February when freezing nights and thawing days make for heavy sap flows. Related work and rendering of maple syrup at the farm sometimes goes round-the-clock this time of the season. On Saturday, February 18 and 25, visitors can join the work and fun by helping farmers in the sugar bush, sugarhouse and farmhouse kitchen, where many hands are needed to ensure that syrup-drenched pancakes are on the table for tasting. Parking and admission are free. For more information, visit www.howellfarm.org.
