One of the foods that New England is best known for is maple syrup, and while we may not make anywhere near the quantity that Vermont does, more than 10,000 gallons of maple syrup is produced each year in Connecticut. The Nutmeg State is home to nearly 200 sugaring farms. This is a fascinating industry that many people don’t spend much time thinking about, and if you’ve never toured a sugaring farm, the event we’re featuring today is the perfect opportunity. Maple Weekend in Connecticut is an annual event that celebrates maple syrup production in Connecticut. Many of the state’s farms are open for tours, tastings, and other events. This year’s Maple Weekend is scheduled for March 16-17, 2024, and it’s sure to be a sugary sweet delight for the whole family. Check it out:
