Sugarmakers open doors to public on open house weekend
Editor’s note: Some sugarhouses may be changing open house hours because of the forecast snow. Call before traveling long distances.
With sugaring season in full swing, Vermont Maple Sugarmakers throughout the state are hosting a Spring Maple Open House Weekend on Saturday and Sunday. Join them in a celebration of the current season’s crop of liquid gold.
On March 23 and 24, more than 90 sugarhouses and maple partners will open their doors for pancake breakfasts, sugar-on-snow, tours, syrup samples, and much more. Close to a dozen of those open houses are in Addison County.
A full map and list of participating sugar makers and partners are available on the Vermont Maple webpage, vermontmaple.org/mohw. Travel to a corner of Vermont you haven’t been to before and join in the sweet celebration.
Head out for sweet adventures in March, and stock up on your favorite sweet treat. See how maple producers make their time-honored products with family and friends. Learn all you want to know, from tree to bottle..
Many of the sugarhouses are open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days; but visit the Vermont Maple webpage, which has links to each sugarhouse where you’ll find hours and direction.
