Learn how to make real maple syrup at the Hinkle-Garton Farmstead! Enjoy some maple syrup refreshments as we touch briefly on the history of syrup production, discuss tree identification, learn about tree tapping and the collection and processing of sap into syrup. Then we’ll head outside to demonstrate the techniques learned. Because the sap run is weather dependent, we’ll contact participants to take part in the sap collection and boiling process when it’s time. Class fee of $20 includes a tap and a bottle of real maple syrup. Rain/snow date is 2/18. Participants will be contacted if use of the alternate date is necessary. This class is presented by Free University of Monroe County. Contact them to register.
Cost: $20 includes a tap and bottle of maple syrup
