In this two-hour, adults only program, you will learn a little about the history of sugaring and we’ll talk about the varied ways in which you can use the products—it’s not just all syrup and it’s not just for breakfast. We will have a maple syrup tasting, try some drinks and snacks made with maple syrup and share what’s happening in the maple sugaring industry. Participants must be at least 21 years of age.
