After a short work bee to get the sap collected and boiling, a ceremonial firelighting with a bowdrill, Join us for a delicious brunch of acorn pancakes, farm fresh eggs, organic bacon, coffee, chaga tea or chai, and more. Followed by a fireside celebration of Maple through song, stories, and gratitude. Check out our dirt cheap sugaring set-up, and learn about how to get down to maple sugar. Some people use it as their only sugar all year long, and this was the main objective of Algonquin sugaring, as it is easier to store than syrup.
