Don’t get stuck indoors this winter! Get outside for some quality family time by adopting a maple tree for the season! Learn about and participate weekly in the entire syrup making process, from tapping a maple tree to sap collections and boil downs. You’ll even get your very own bottle of NCNC-made maple syrup at our end of season pot-luck dinner in March.
Join us for the Kickoff Event on January 30th. Attend one of the six scheduled sessions to take part in choosing and tapping a tree for the season. Each session is limited to 5 families to allow for proper social distancing. Face coverings are required for all participants over the age of 2.
Sessions at: 10:00 A.M., 10:45 A.M., 11:30 A.M., 12:30 P.M., 1:15 P.M. and 2:00 P.M.
Can’t make it on the 30th, but still want to participate? Contact us today to schedule a make-up date for the week of February 1st.
Participants then collect sap from their tree 1-3 times a week (depending on sap flow conditions) for the entire syrup season (typically, 4-6 weeks) and take part in boil downs where REAL maple syrup is made right here at NCNC.
