We visited New Pond Farm yesterday for a lesson on maple syruping, including how to tap a tree and boil down the sap to make delicious syrup. It was a great day on the farm. See more photos.
The Discovery Center took a trip to Topstone Farm in Redding yesterday for a demonstration of maple sugaring. Mr. Bronson showed us how he taps trees, collects sap, and boils it down to delicious real maple syrup. He had lots of helpers with Discovery Center kids who helped drill the hole in the tree, put in the tap, read the thermometers, and of course taste the sap!
