Celebrate Vermont’s maple magic

VERMONT- The state  continues to lead the nation by a commanding margin as the top maple producing state. In 2024, Vermont’s sugar makers produced 3.1 million gallons according to USDA statistics, which represents just over half of the US production of maple syrup.
With warmer temps this month, the 2025 crop will be off to a good start. Sugar makers throughout the state look forward to offering folks a taste and sharing their craft.
More than 90 sugar makers and maple partners all around the state are opening their doors on Saturday and Sunday, March 22 and 23. Maple Open House Weekend offers the perfect opportunity to celebrate Vermont’s sweetest season and first crop of the year. This popular event offers Vermont’s sugar makers a chance to welcome visitors near and far into their sugarhouses to learn, taste, and explore firsthand why people should think of Vermont first when they think of maple syrup. Visitors will learn about the heritage and craft of sugar making, from tree to table.
The sap is running and there are plenty of ways to enjoy some traditional and not-so-traditional Open House activities: sugarhouse tours, sampling syrup, tours of the woods, pancake and waffle breakfasts, and plenty of maple products to taste including maple doughnuts, maple cotton candy, and maple ice cream and creemees.
