Also tree tapping with special guests. Come Alive Outside will be there with some outdoor maple activities. Hamilton Cattle Company will have a table and beef raffle. Their cattle graze on the farm during the summer. Farmblox will have information on modern sugaring equipment.
Baird Farm has been the home to the Baird family since 1918, spanning 4 generations. Covering part of the 560-acre farm, the sugarbush is extensive. There are 11,000 taps and over 70 miles of tubing. Vacuum helps increase production and move the sap to the collection points. The sap then goes through a reverse osmosis filter to concentrate the sugar before being boiled down to make syrup. Come watch this amazing process. It’s totally wild!
