#farmerfridays: Maple Weekend is Here! — Seven Valleys Health Coalition

Looking for something sweet to do this weekend?

Maple farms across New York State will be open this weekend and next, inviting visitors to their “sugar houses” to see how maple syrup is made and enjoy some maple-y treats.

Cortland County's very own Cooper Hill Maple and Pied Piper Maple will have the sap boiling and their doors open. Don't miss out on the opportunity to tap into fun this weekend---there's even a chance to meet Kaitlyn Boice, the Maple Queen!

Cooper Hill Maple

We will have sweet maple treats to taste, stories to tell, a sledding hill for kids of all ages (if weather permits), tours of the sugarhouse, demonstrations, a selection of our maple products for sale, and a pancake breakfast on Saturdays only.
