It‘s maple sugaring time!
In this guided program, help our farmers with the first crop of the season as you follow the trail from sap to syrup. Visit the maple grove to check the taps and taste some sap. Learn how to identify a sugar maple and compare traditional ways of making maple syrup with how it is made today. Observe maple sap being boiled down in our sugarhouse and sample maple tea and finished maple syrup.
ABFN is covering 50% of the cost

Are you looking for signs of spring hiding under all of the melting snow? Come create a bouquet of spring flowers and a vase to help inspire Mother Nature.

For this story hour, we will read picture books connected to the transition to spring, have some time to explore two sensory activities, and create some flowers and a vase to take home! (For this craft, we will be using some paint, markers, and spray bottles.)

(This event is for all ages and can adapt the craft for different levels of independence based on specific needs- please email for accommodations.)
