2010 Maple Events

January 30th

The NH Maple Producers will hold their Annual Business Meeting in Lebanon NH at 10 am at the Elk's Lodge. Any maple producer is welcome to attend. There are guest speakers in the morning and afternoon sessions as well as maple suppliers set up with equipment and products. There is a fee for the luncheon but lunch is optional.

February 5th and 6th

The annual NH Farm and Forest Expo will be held at the Center of NH in Manchester. It runs 9 am to 7 pm on Friday and 9 am to 4 pm on Saturday. The NH Maple Association aways has a booth here and we will be staffing the booth Friday night. Stop by for some maple milk or some maple talk.

February 7th

Brian spent most days last week cleaning spiles and scrubbing buckets for the new season. We very much are looking forward it. The weather looks cold most of this week so he may start to tap later in the week to get the buckets all out before we have a warm up. As soon as he does we'll send out our 2010 announcements via postcards and email. Stay tuned!

February 15th

Friday Brian started tapping and tapped for the next 2 days as well. He was hoping to get all the buckets out before we had a run to collect but that was not to be. The weather has been mild enough to get the trees warmed up and many are running in full force today. So he is out collecting this afternoon. Just goes to show you can often try to plan when it comes to sugaring but some things are always beyond your control.

March 2nd

Well what a week we've all had. Like many we lost our power (and a few trees) last Thursday night and as of today the power is still out. And because the cable was out too we could not update the web page because we had no internet access. Fortunately we have a portable generator and have played round robin with it between our house and our daughter and son-in-law's house up the street.

We had sap from a run on Thursday so we were able to boil Saturday and Sunday. We had a surprising number of folks come (some out of being bored at home) to see what was going on.

In the midst of it all we were blessed with a beautiful new grandchild - a girl - named Molly Elizabeth. Needless to say she has stolen our hearts as thoroughly as her big brother Simon!!

March 27th and 28th

The 15th annual NH Maple Weekend will be held. Many sugar houses around the state participate and offer all kinds of activities and events. As always we'll be participating and will post more information later in the season.

NH Maple Museum

A few years ago the NH Maple Association had the extreme good fortune to have an entire maple artifact collection left to them by long-time producer Charlie Stewart from Sugar Hill NH. This could well be the best maple collection in the country.

After lots of setup work to get it ready the NH Forest Society will be opening the NH Maple Museum on March 13th, 2010. It's home is at the beautiful Rocks Estate in Bethlehem.

The NH Maple Producers Association is accepting donations towards operations and exhibits.

Tax deductible donations for the museum can be sent to:

NH Maple Museum, Inc.
c/o Ag Business Center
295 Sheep Davis Rd, Concord, NH 03301

Make Checks Payable To:

NH Maple Museum, Inc.

Thank You!
