Maple Sugaring Day
Benner's Farm
East Setauket
12pm–4pm
$6 for adults, $5 for seniors and children under 12  
Bundle up with family and friends for this late winter event at Benner’s Farm. All phases of maple sugaring will be demonstrated at the working homestead during this popular day. Visit with the animals, help gather sap in the woods, see how the trees are tapped, what kind they are and how to tell them from the other trees in our Long Island woods. Stand in front of the warm fire where the gallons of sap are boiled down to produce the wonderful sweet syrup we all enjoy. Finally, taste the finished syrup and hot waffles made from scratch. Syrup and maple sugar products will be on sale as available. All proceeds from the day will benefit Homestead Arts Inc.
