When it comes to sweet treats, everyone has their favorite – but there are few things that can compare to the taste of fresh, authentic maple syrup. Nature created this sweet long before humans walked the Earth, and many would argue we still haven’t topped it! You can get maple syrup at many grocery stores, but you’ve never had it like this – fresh from the trees at Reeves-Reed Arboretum. This non-profit garden in Summit hosts the largest maple syrup festival in New Jersey, the Maple Sugaring Festival, every winter. The maple syrup season begins in February, and the event this year is Sunday, March 5th. Not only can you sample the freshest maple syrup around, but you can learn about the ins and outs of the ancient art of maple sugaring – and try it out for yourself!
