So much Maple, so little time!

It’s here! Time for Maple Adventures!

Want to plan your own?

New Hampshire Maple Producers Association celebrates Maple Month for four weekends beginning March 10, 2018. You can find their list and maps here. Pay attention to the dates each farm is open. Some are only open the official NH Maple Weekend of March 24 & 25, some are open all or some combination of the four weeks.

Maine Maple Producers Association and Vermont Maple Sugar Makers Association will both celebrate on March 24 & 25 with New Hampshire’s focus weekend. Maine’s information is here, while Vermont’s is here (click on the links).

A couple of organizations have maple teaching programs:

Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center in Laconia, NH is celebrating Maple Sugar Madness every Saturday in March.

Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm in Tamworth Village, NH will celebrate Maple Sugaring Day Open House on Saturday, March 21 from 11 am – 3 pm. I have enjoyed this even on a couple of occasions.

The 100 Acre Wood Sugar Shack, part of the Believe in Books Literacy Foundation in Intervale, NH, has it’s Maple Storybook Trail open anytime (self-guided), but says that an inside peek at the Sugar Shack can only be done when they are open.

Old Sturbridge Village, Sturbridge, MA is celebrating Maple Days each weekend in March.

The NH Maple Experience is located at The Rocks in Bethlehem, NH, the North Country Conservation & Education Center for the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. The dates for this event in 2018 are March 17, 24, 25, 31, April 1 and 7.

Then there are a couple of Maple Festivals that I am aware of in 2018:

East Canterbury Maple Festival, Canterbury, NH, March 24 & 25

Kearsarge Maple Festival, Warner & Webster, NH, March 24 & 25

A personal favorite is the Lunenburg (VT) Maple Festival on Saturday, March 24 from 8 am – 4 pm

Skowhegan, ME will have their Maple Festival as part of Maine Maple Weekend on March 23 – 25, 2018

The Annual Official Vermont Maple Festival is April 27 – April 29 is primarily in St. Albans, VT

None of my plans are set in stone – so much Maple, so little time!
