Description:
Celebrate Maple Week at Pineland Farms! Visit the farm on any of these days for a 2-hour visit when, in addition to our dairy barns and farmyard being open to visit, you are invited to experience our Maple Sugar House! The self-guided quest for our Magnificent Maple will lead you through the woods where you will learn how to identify a sugar maple tree and observe a maple gravity tubing system in action. You will see how to harvest sap at our tapping demonstration and, while enjoying the steamy surroundings, discover how syrup is made in our sugar house. Attend free of charge on Maine Maple Sunday, March 24th while tickets last (pre-registration required).
Syrup samples will be provided in the Sugar House.
Maple Cotton Candy will be available for sale in the Smokehouse Visitor Center.
