The celebration will continue with sugar on snow at our pavilion and farm stand where Maple Syrup will be available for purchase.
It is a beautiful ¼ mile walk into the sugar woods from the barn. The roadway will be plowed so snowshoes will not be required but may be helpful depending on snow conditions. Transportation will be available for those who may need assistance making the trek into the forest.
