Sugarmakers celebrated Vermont’s sweetest season

Spring Maple Open House Weekend March 22-23 celebrated the first crop of the season as Vermont’s sugar makers opened the doors of their sugarhouses and invited visitors in to experience the joys and traditions of pure maple syrup, whether it’s the sight of steam rising from the sugarhouse, the inviting aroma of boiling sap, or the rich sweetness of fresh syrup straight from the vat. Many family sugarhouses remain open for business throughout spring.
