Join us to celebrate Maple Week at Pineland Farms and beat the crowd that will celebrate the 41st Annual Maple Sunday weekend hosted by several Maine Producers. We will visit the farm for a 2-hour self guided visit where we can experience the Sugar House while enjoying the maple house activities and samples, as well as the dairy barns and farmyard. They promise..."The self-guided quest for our Magnificent Maple will lead you through the woods where you will learn how to identify a sugar maple tree and observe a maple gravity tubing system in action. You will see how to harvest sap at our tapping demonstration and, while enjoying the steamy surroundings, discover how syrup is made in our sugar house".
If you wish to eat during our visit, you can stop by the Market on campus that offers a small assortment of maple themed lunch items (including sandwiches, soups and salads) and bakery specials. There is also a gift shop within the Market to explore.
