ANNUAL SUGARHOUSE TOUR
Saturday, March 21, 10:00 a.m.

On Saturday, March 21st at 10:00 a.m., the Windham Regional Woodlands Association presents the annual sugarhouse tour. This year, the tour will be at Franklin Farm in Guilford, Vermont.

[From the Franklins] “The Franklin Farm in Guilford, VT is a diversified organic dairy farm made up of 276 acres, most of which are woodland. Many factors determine the flavor and quality of pure maple syrup. The distinct flavor of our syrup originates in the fertile limestone-based soils of our woodlands.

Making high quality maple syrup takes sugarmakers that know and love what they are doing and are incredibly dedicated. Here at the Franklin Farm, David and the boys, with the help of some really good, maple syrup-crazed friends and relatives, do what it takes to produce our syrup. Year after year people tell us that it is the best maple syrup they have ever tasted. We hope you think so, too.

You can sample the syrup that’s being made that day, and the aroma of maple is everywhere. The atmosphere is upbeat and jolly. There really isn’t anything quite like it anywhere else. Early spring in the Vermont countryside – check it out, it’s contagious.”
