In Washington County, events will take place March 23-24 and 30-31.<br \/>\nSome are extending events to March 16-17 as well.<br \/>\nDuring Maple Weekend, maple farms across New York state invite visitors to their \u201csugar houses\u201d to experience firsthand how pure, mouth-watering maple syrup and other related products are made. <!--more--><br \/>\nVisitors also have the opportunity to enjoy fun, family-friendly activities, taste New York\u2019s freshest syrup and purchase maple products.<br \/>\nMaple Weekend is a chance for the public to come to the farm to learn about New York\u2019s maple sugarmaking processes and traditions and to provide a chance to taste pure maple syrup in its many forms \u2013 right from the source.<br \/>\nOrganizers said attendees can taste a pure and natural food product at its freshest and in its many forms; learn how maple syrup and other maple confections are made; experience the unique family traditions of making maple syrup in New York; celebrate New York\u2019s first agricultural harvest of the season in a family-friendly environment; meet the producers who annually make New York the second largest maple producing state in the U.S.; share in the many ways to cook and bake with maple syrup, maple sap and other maple drinks and products; and witness sustainable agriculture at its best.<br \/>\nThe events take place 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. those weekends at most locations regardless of the weather.<br \/>\nFor information on specific locations, visit www.glensfalls.com\/things-to-do\/maple-weekends.<br \/>\nTours and product samples are offered at most sites free of charge. On-site pancake breakfasts, where available, incur a per-plate cost and prices vary by location.<br \/>\n\u201cAs someone who has visited countless maple syrup facilities, I\u2019ve seen the struggles faced by our farm community, particularly when Mother Nature wreaks havoc with the weather,\u201d said Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul. \u201cMaple syrup production in New York ranks second in the nation. This program will continue to build and support the syrup industry and we\u2019re proud to celebrate the producers\u2019 success with Maple Weekends in March.\u201d<br \/>\nNew York State Grown &amp; Certified promotes New York\u2019s agricultural producers and growers who adhere to food safety and environmental sustainability standards. For maple, the syrup must be sourced from New York maple trees and processed in New York state.<br \/>\nTo meet the food safety standards, participants must have successfully completed a maple food safety class, developed in partnership between Cornell Cooperative Extension and the Western New York Maple Producers Association, and must follow food safety best practices that are subject to an onsite audit.<br \/>\nIn addition, a maple producer must participate in an environmental management program that promotes sustainability and keeps forests healthy and productive, such as the New York State Agricultural Environmental Management program, which is administered through the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, or the Certified Tree Farmer, administered by the American Tree Farm System.<br \/>\nDry Brook Sugar House, 432 Chambers Road, Salem, will be serving a pancake breakfast from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. (This starts earlier than most Maple Weekend activities).<br \/>\nThe Washington County Draft Animal Association will be in attendance again this year, providing a horse drawn wagon ride to the border of Vermont, which is just down the road from the sugar house. Horse drawn wagon rides are weather permitting, and will take place 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.<br \/>\nMapleland Farms, 647 Bunker Hill Road, Salem, will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Maple Weekends, plus they\u2019ve added on another weekend of maple fun on March 16 and 17.<br \/>\nRathbun\u2019s Maple Sugar House, 1208 Hatch Hill Road, Whitehall, has its own restaurant that is open year-round. It is extending the maple events with an open house on weekends from March 16 through April 17. Horse drawn wagon rides will be available, weather permitting.<br \/>\nOther locations include Battlehill Maple, 470 Route 16, Fort Ann; Grottoli\u2019s Maple, 91 Ritchie Road, Middle Granville; Highland Maple Farm, 954 Coach Road, Argyle; Maple Acres, 49 Searles Road, Granville; River Run Maple, 25 Lower Turnpike Road, Granville; Schneible Maple, 396 Dutchtown Road, Argyle; Sugar Hill Maple Farm, 2469 Route 29, Greenwich; and Wild Hill Maple, 366 Carney Cassidy Road, Salem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York State Maple Producers Association is holding their Maple Weekend events in March.
