Maine Maple Sunday Coming Soon – Where to Find a Sugarhouse Near You

We're heading into the home stretch of winter, with spring right around the corner. I don't know about you, but I'm glad winter is beginning to end. With these cold temperatures, my driveway has been like an ice rink. I could charge for ice skating and skate rentals.

But, things will start warming up a bit, just in time for Maine Maple Sunday.

What is Maine Maple Sunday?

The first Maine Maple Sunday was held in March of 1983 and sugarhouses all across Maine opened their doors to the public to see how Maine Maple syrup is made. The process begins with tapping the maple trees to collect sap, then boiling it to thicken, filtering it, and then bottling it. Pure Maine-made maple syrup is the best!
