Sap to Syrup Breakfast on March 12-13
Maple sugaring season started a few weeks early at Mass Audubon’s Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary, giving us the perfect opportunity to reap the benefits of a warm winter at the annual Sap-to-Syrup Farmer’s Breakfast on March 12 and 13 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feast on hearty pancakes with local maple syrup, as well as Drumlin Farm sausage and home fries. Diners are welcome to stay at the farm for as little or as long as they’d like and enjoy special maple-themed activities:
- Visit Drumlin Farm’s maple grove and see sugaring in progress
- Learn about traditional sap-to-syrup techniques
- Sample and take home Drumlin Farm’s very own maple syrup
Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for children age 2+ (free for children under 2). Register online or by calling 781-259-2206.
