Updates for February 2026

February - The new sapping season starts in late winter; typically from mid-March to mid-April in most maple-syrup producing areas, when temperatures are below freezing at night and above freezing during the day. Tours usually begin in early Spring! That's a great time to visit a maple sugar orchard or sugarworks and see a sugaring demonstration; watch them make maple syrup!

Where are Maple Syrup farms/orchards/sugarworks, etc.? Well, they're not in Hawaii or Florida, for sure. They are concentrated in the northeast and upper midwest in the US and the eastern half of Canada, even though maple trees do grow in the northwest. That's why the areas below (in states outside of the Northeast and Midwest) have no listings! Although, there is research to develop trees that can produce sap/syrup in warmed climates.

  Comments from a visitor on June 17, 2010: "We went to Dowse Orchards last fall (October 2009) and took our 2-year-old and she really loved it. They had a TON of apples (many different varieties and LOTS of trees. There isn't much besides the actual orchard, but they do have a tractor (actually more like a loader) that can pull you around and my daughter loved that. If you're looking simply for picking good apples, this is a perfect place to go. And prices were reasonable too. They also have a stand that sells lots of goodies but that is up the road and across Route 27 - Don't miss it! We got a great looking pumpkin from there and a couple of fantastic pies. I definitely recommend Dowse Orchards!"
• Land's Sake Farm - Local Maple Syrup
  90 Wellesley Street, Weston, MA 02493. Phone: 781-893-1162. Starting in late winter, the days grow warmer while the nights remain chilly. This temperature fluctuation sends sap running through the maple trees, and we get to work continuing the tradition of crafting locally-made maple syrup. We start by collecting sap from hundreds of maple trees throughout Weston with teams of middle school students and volunteers from the community. Next, we boil the sap in an evaporator fired by our own firewood to remove the water from the sap, and create a beautiful, amber-colored syrup. Each year we produce anywhere from 50 to 70 gallons of maple syrup, which we then bottle and sell through our Farmstand. Want to get involved? Here's how:  Everyone is welcome to attend our popular Sugaring Off Festival. In late March, we host this popular festival at the Weston Middle School Sugar House. Participants enjoy the season’s maple syrup, pancakes, maple sugar candy, music, and student-led tours of the Sugar House and maple sugaring process. If you are a school group, scout troop, or homeschool group, sign up for one of our educational tours of our maple sugar operation. If you are a middle-school student, have fun learning how to make maple syrup in our After-School Maple Program. If you are interested in helping to tap trees, collect sap, or assist in other parts of sugaring, keep an eye on your inbox for details about volunteer days and other events.
  Saturday March 25 -- Sugaring Off, 9 am - 12 pm
  Tour our Sugar House, watch maple sugaring demonstrations, and enjoy a maple-y breakfast, all led by student in our Maple Education programs. *Location: The Bill McElwain Sugar House at Weston Middle School (456 Wellesley St, Weston MA)*
