Heartwood Farm

Henri went on a field trip to Heartwood Farm this week for an educational talk and visit to the sugar shack. The trip was originally planned for last week but had to be postponed until the sap was flowing. The temperature has to be below zero at night and above zero in the day to collect maple sap. The kids started by collecting sap, watching the sap boiling in the shack, taste testing the sap vs. syrup, learning how to tap a tree, and sampled finished product.
