All it takes is a standard tap, hook, and bucket, and you too can do this to sugar maples near you!

Open House

Come out this Saturday, April 17 and learn about the sweetest thing in the world: Maple Syrup! The South Hill Maple Syrup Company is hosting a free open house for anybody interested in the production and business side of maple syrup. We are a student-run business offered through the Environmental Studies & Sciences department, and will need people to help out next spring as well, so come out and get a sneak peek at some of the fun you will have producing maple syrup. We will be giving demonstrations on identifying maple trees and tapping them, and there will be a free tasting of our finished product. Kick off earth day and celebrate the end of winter in style. There will be a free shuttle running to take people to our on-campus sugaring site that will be stopping at the Textor flagpole at 2 pm this Saturday. If you have any additional questions, please send an e-mail to Victoria Kayden at vkayden1@ithaca.edu. Hope to see you there!
