Maple Weekend takes over the Catskills
The Catskills are about to undergo a shift in season and with it comes maple sugar harvests all across the state.
In a couple short weeks, Maple Weekend takes over the Catskills. For two consecutive weekends, March 18-19 and March 25-26, participating maple farms will have their doors open, welcoming the public into the maple sugar making process. Many maple farmers are carrying on family traditions of gathering sap and making it into sweet maple syrup treats. Maple Weekend gives the public an opportunity to talk with farmers about the process of making syrup, candy, and other maple products, while tasting and buying these confections direct from the source.
