Maple Syrup Production

Local Maple Syrup

In late winter, days grow warmer while nights remain chilly, sending sap running through local maple trees.  During this time, we continue the tradition of crafting locally made maple syrup. First, we collect sap from hundreds of Weston maple trees, with teams of middle school students and community volunteers. Next, we boil the water from the sap in an evaporator fueled by our own firewood, creating 50-70 gallons of beautiful, amber-colored syrup yearly, for sale at our Farmstand.
