Maple Sugaring Tap-a-Tree Program

Learn the science and history of maple sugaring by being a hands-on part of the process. Start by attending one of two informal orientation sessions on February 14th. Can’t make it? Reach out to kevin@amblerfarm.org to arrange another time.

On that day, your family will choose your maple tree and hang your sap collection bucket. Regular updates on the sap progress will be sent, so you know when to collect it. Sap is boiled down in our sugar shack + each family receives their very own bottle of Ambler Farm maple syrup.
