We’d like to thank everyone who came out for Maple Weekend.  It’s always great to get a chance to share the maple experience with so many visitors.  And based on the empty shelves at the end of the day Saturday and Sunday, plenty went home happy with some fresh maple syrup.

But along with that came the end to our season.  The warmer temperatures had some trees shutting down over a week ago and this week many more were done as well.  Overall we had a great season and look forward to getting all our production filtered, packed and recorded for another year.

Next Saturday & Sunday April 1st and 2nd we’ll be open 12-4pm as well as Saturday April 8th.  We will be closed Easter Sunday.  After that look for hours posted to the home page of the website and on Facebook.  We should be open most Saturdays throughout the year.

It’s been an incredible season so far.  We’ve made more syrup in February than ever in our 32+ years.  And the sap has been beautiful even now after a month of running.  The sugar content has been between 2 and 2.5% but is just now showing signs of dropping.  Yesterday I got to go out for a bit with Brian while he collected and I drove the Maple mule.  Crystal clear and bubbles show good sugar content, can’t ask for more!!

March 18th and 19th is Maple Weekend and we’ll be open 10-4pm both days.

Our season is officially underway.  Brian hung buckets from Sunday to Wednesday last week and with the warm temperatures the sap was ready to flow.  Our first boil was Friday the 10th, three days earlier than last year.  We hope we can have as decent a season as last year if the weather cooperates with some cooler breaks to keep the trees from budding early.

On another note, we’ve been getting restocked with Maple Cream Cookies and Maple Caramel Corn is on order.  And we’ll have more of the standards soon too.

Who’d have thought with temperatures at minus 10 or more yesterday that today would be the start of our tapping for this year!  But the trees have been producing sap for a couple weeks so the freeze up was the perfect time to think about getting started.  Weather this week looks like we might see some sap flow once we get the taps in place for this year.  Please remember that your local maple producers need more cool temps to keep the trees from budding too early so we can get a decent season. Fingers crossed.

Next weekend we’ll likely start our weekend hours of having the shop open.  Hours and Boiling times will be posted to the home page, as always, so folks know when to catch us making syrup.

December 3rd  9am  to  4pm

December 4th 10am  to  4pm

   We are gearing up for our Holiday Open House once again.  Can’t believe we’ve been making wreaths as long as we’ve been sugaring but it’s true.  Over 30 years and we are still happy to make so many happy with our unique hand decorated wreaths each year. Our gorgeous, handmade balsam wreaths do go quickly, so be sure to come early for the best selection.

Think about getting your shopping lists in order too and planning a stop to pick up some purely delicious NH Maple Syrup and other goodies for your holiday gift giving.  

All our normal supplies are on hand of pure NH Maple Syrup, Candy, Cream and Sugar along with those other specialty maple and local products that have been favorites now for so long.  Maple Mustard, BBQ Sauce, Drops, Apple Hill Farm Jams & Pancake Mixes, and Maple Seasonings. Remember, we always have a variety of Maple Gift Baskets for those hard to buy for family, friends, and coworkers.  

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours.
with appreciation,
Brian & Sue

Thank You, Merci, Danke, Gracias to all the folks who came out to the sugarhouse on Maple Weekend.  It was just terrific having the chance to share our love for sugaring with so many people again.  Lots of familiar faces and more than a few new ones enjoyed the days listening to Brian explaining the ins and outs of the sugaring process, enjoying the sweet maple smell coming off the evaporator and then visiting the store for some fresh maple syrup and yummy maple treats to take home.  You all make this a pleasure for us year after year.

Our love and thanks to our family too –  Megan, Tyler, Simon and Molly for helping out and making things go so smoothly.

Best wishes to All!

Brian & Sue
