No, we are not Vermont, but we do have a sugar maple grove just a short ways down the road at Homer Lake Forest Preserve. On February 22nd or 29th, you can learn all about the science and history of maple sugaring, then try it yourself and take home a little sample.
There are two time slots on each day, but space is limited so sign up soon if you’re interested. It’s appropriate for all ages, and just $5 a person.
Register for February 22nd times by February 21st:
