March is Maple Month! Check out the sugarhouses with events near you!

I’m out to breakfast with my sister the other day when she whips out a small Tupperware container from her purse and sets it on the table. “That’s my syrup,” she says. “I can’t eat pancakes without real maple syrup.”

Well sister, this month is for you! March is affectionately known as Maple Month around these parts and there’s plenty of authentic maple products to be found. Check out all the sugarhouse tours, shopping and family fun happening around the Seacoast this month!

New Hampshire Maple Month

The NH Maple Producers Association hosts Maple Sugaring Month in March 2024 when sugar makers statewide open their doors inviting the public to share in the centuries-old craft of maple sugaring. Many will be offering free samples of fresh syrup, maple candies and confections, coffee and doughnuts. Some locations have pancake breakfasts, petting farms or horse-drawn rides.

To see a list of all participating locations, visit nhmapleproducers.com where you can narrow your search by region and date. Each location will include a description of activities offered, products for sale and business hours.

We plan to complete the organic certification by next year. Come taste the difference!
