Presentation: Maple Syrup Making

Learn the history of maple syrup making in Pennsylvania before heading outside to discover how to identify and tap maple trees then collect and boil down the sap to make table-ready syrup using homestyle methods.

The first half of the program will take place in the barn’s heated classroom covering storytelling and history of maple syrup making. The second half of the program will be outside showing demonstrations of how to tap a maple tree, how to turn sap into syrup, and a taste of our very own homemade maple syrup.
