Vermont Maple Open House Weekend 2010
March 26-28, 2010
The Ninth Annual Vermont Maple Open House Weekend will be held at
sugarhouses throughout Vermont, March 26-28, 2010. The Open House Weekend is
the public celebration of the maple syrup season in Vermont and an
opportunity for the public to visit one or more "sugarhouses" throughout the
state. Activities during Open House Weekend will be different at each
sugarhouse but will include the opportunity to watch maple syrup being made
(weather permitting) and often sample maple products.
Sugarmakers participating in the Vermont Maple Open House Weekend are listed below, organized by county. You may also pick up the "Vermont Ski & Maple Syrup Guide 2009-2010 " at all Vermont welcome centers or request one by calling the Vermont Department of Tourism at 1-800-837-6668.
