FORESTRY

Land's Sake Farm Maple Syrup is in the Works!

Maple Sugaring: A Labor of Love

Land's Sake's maple sugaring process is done the old-fashioned way: tapping trees and collecting sap by hand, pouring sap buckets into a large tank in the bed of a pick-up truck, then unloading at the sugar house, where we boil the sap down for hours with no additives. We keep our process simple, without any sophisticated collection infrastructure, because the trees we tap are not on land owned by the farm.

This year we placed more than 450 taps in Weston, on 5 different sites, and expect the season to last approximately 6 weeks. With cold nights and warm days, the season is off to a great start! Come taste the first batch of the season and find out how many gallons we collected, at our March 23^rd Sugaring Off Festival!

Sugaring Off Festival: March 23rd, 10am-2pm

Celebrate this New England tradition at our Sugaring Off Festival on March 23rd at the Weston Middle School Sugar House. Bring the whole family to see how our famous maple syrup is boiled and bottled, with FREE TOURS given by our maple education staff!

A tasty pancake breakfast will be available for purchase in partnership with our friends at Heirloom of Weston. Menu and refreshment details coming soon.
