NOTICE 3/13/26: The weather here in East Central Minnesota on Saturday 3/14/26 will not be impacted by the strong winds in other parts of the state, so we are still moving forward!
Join us for our annual spring tradition of maple tree tapping. It’s a fun day, tromping out in the woods, putting out the taps and buckets for the 2026 maple syrup season.
Be sure to dress for the weather, (layers are good) including sturdy boots that can get wet or muddy. We will post more specifically about apparel once we see the forecast.
Plan on a day of fresh air, and a good work out too. Everyone who helps us tap trees, haul and set the buckets and are willing to help out for a couple of hours will earn a free lunch of hot chili with all of the fixin’s!
Don’t worry, you don’t have to work the entire day 
All we ask is for a couple hours of work, or for as long as you desire.
If you would like to just observe and see how taps are installed, you are welcome to do so, but we ask that you wait until the afternoon in order to give us the time to get the operation organized.
When you arrive, check in the cider barn where we will have you sign a waiver before going out into the woods.
While we love dogs, and dogs are always welcome anytime on the farm, for this event, dogs are not allowed. That includes our own two dogs.
As always, fun for the whole family.
