Updates for December 2024
December - The new sapping season starts in late winter; typically from mid-March to mid-April in most maple-syrup producing areas, when temperatures are below freezing at night and above freezing during the day. Tours
usually begin in early Spring! That's a great time to visit a maple sugar orchard or sugarworks and see a sugaring demonstration; watch them make maple syrup!
Where are Maple Syrup farms/orchards/sugarworks, etc.? Well, they're not in Hawaii or Florida, for sure. They are concentrated in the northeast and upper midwest in the US and the eastern half of Canada, even though maple trees do grow in the northwest.
That's why the areas below (in states outside of the Northeast and Midwest) have no listings! Although, there is research to develop trees that can produce
sap/syrup in warmed climates.

Sake Farm - Local Maple Syrup
90 Wellesley
Street, Weston, MA 02493. Phone: 781-893-1162. Starting in late
winter, the days grow warmer while the nights remain chilly.
This temperature fluctuation sends sap running through the maple
trees, and we get to work continuing the tradition of crafting
locally-made maple syrup. We start by collecting sap from
hundreds of maple trees throughout Weston with teams of middle
school students and volunteers from the community. Next, we boil
the sap in an evaporator fired by our own firewood to remove the
water from the sap, and create a beautiful, amber-colored syrup.
Each year we produce anywhere from 50 to 70 gallons of maple
syrup, which we then bottle and sell through our Farmstand. Want
to get involved? Here's how: Everyone is welcome to attend our
popular Sugaring Off Festival. In late March, we host this
popular festival at the
Weston Middle School Sugar House. Participants enjoy the
season’s maple syrup, pancakes, maple sugar candy, music, and
student-led tours of the Sugar House and maple sugaring process.
If you are a school group, scout troop, or homeschool group,
sign up for one of our educational tours of our maple sugar
operation. If you are a middle-school student, have fun learning
how to make maple syrup in our After-School Maple Program. If
you are interested in helping to tap trees, collect sap, or
assist in other parts of sugaring, keep an eye on your inbox for
details about volunteer days and other events.
