MAPLE WEEKEND EVENTS AT FULLER’S SUGARHOUSE IN JEFFERSON HAVE BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO THE CORONAVIUS. THE LANCASTER STORE REMAINS OPEN. FULLER’S SHIPS ITS PRODUCTS NATIONWIDE AND WELCOMES CUSTOMERS TO ORDER ONLINE OR OVER THE PHONE.
Visit Fuller’s Sugarhouse during Maple Weekend at our two locations – our sugarhouse in Jefferson, NH and our Country Store in Lancaster, NH – on March 21 and 22 from 10 am to 3 pm.
Sugarhouse in Jefferson
Take in the great views of New Hampshire’s mighty Presidential range on the way to our sugarhouse located on 2021 Presidential Highway (Route 2) in Jefferson, NH. Once you’re here, head out on a walking tour of the woods and see how we collect the sap from the maple trees. (Please dress accordingly for the weather and muddy conditions). Inside the sugarhouse, see how we convert the sap into our pure maple syrup. If weather permits, we will be boiling the sap. We’ll be serving sugar-on-snow and samples of our 2020 crop and our products will be available for purchase.
Be sure to vote for the Fuller’s Maple Choice Award while you’re at the sugarhouse! One voter, selected at random, will win a Fuller’s maple prize – details of the contest can be found here.
Country Store in Lancaster
Our Country Store, located at 267 Main Street in Lancaster, NH is fully stocked with all of our pure maple products and other New Hampshire and New England-made products. Treat yourself to samples of our 2020 crop and complimentary coffee and donuts as you shop.
THE NH MAPLE EXPERIENCE AT THE ROCKS HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO THE CORONA VIRUS.
Steam billows from the sugarhouse, silver-gray buckets hang from sugar maple trees, and the clop-clop of horses’ hooves serves as a soundtrack during maple sugaring season at The Rocks. As the days warm and lengthen toward springtime, the sweet traditions of sugaring are celebrated here.
“We created the New Hampshire Maple Experience to share both the history and the continuing practice of maple sugaring in New England,” said Nigel Manley, longtime manager at The Rocks, which serves as the North Country Conservation and Education Center for the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests.
“This is a hands-on experience, and we encourage participants to learn about the process of turning sap into maple syrup, from identifying sugar maple trees to tapping a tree to collect sap.”
Maple tours will be offered at The Rocks March 14, 21-22, 28-29, and April 4. Participants will enjoy a horse-drawn wagon ride through the historic estate, learning to identify different types of trees along the way. They’ll be invited to tap a sugar maple and take a tractor-drawn wagon ride to The Rocks’ own sugarhouse. There, fourth-generation sugar maker Brad Presby will demonstrate the process of boiling gathered sap into syrup. Adjacent to the sugarhouse is an interactive maple museum, where visitors can see how sugaring has evolved over many years. No maple tour would be complete, of course, without a maple syrup tasting, which includes fresh donuts. Maple tours run from 10 – 4. All activities are included in the cost of $15 ($12 for children). Reservations are recommended and may be made by calling (603) 444-6228 or emailing [email protected].
Come meet Dave Fuller of Fuller’s Sugarhouse for a maple-tastic pop-up event. During this two-hour meet and greet session, you will learn maple sugaring tips and tricks, sample some of the sweet stuff, and even have the chance to buy your very own backyard maple sugaring starter kit.
Free event.
