Sap-to-syrup breakfast

Maple sugaring season has begun at Drumlin Farm, just in time for the annual Sap-to-Syrup Farmer’s Breakfast weekend on Saturday and Sunday, March 7–8. From 8:45 a.m.–1:15 p.m. each day, hungry visitors of all ages can feast on hearty pancakes with real maple syrup, as well as Drumlin Farm sausage and roasted potatoes. Seatings take place every half hour, with 45-minute seatings taking place at 8:45 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. for those needing a little extra time.

Other highlights include:

• Seeing how sap is collected from the wildlife sanctuary’s own sugar maples
• Exploring the natural history of trees as you learn about the distinctly “Northwoods” product of maple syrup
• Learning about Native American sap-to-syrup techniques
• Purchasing maple syrup made at Drumlin Farm to take home
• Family-friendly, hands-on activities
