Updated (9/7/23 9:40 am): The event has been unexpectedly cancelled due to the speaker being ill.
Next month, an experienced maple syrup maker will explain how you can make your own.
The free talk is courtesy of the Southborough Open Land Foundation in partnership with the Southborough Library. But it will be held in Cordaville Hall (aka the Senior Center).
The presentation is scheduled for Thursday, September 7th from 7:00 – 8:30 pm. The talk is free to all with no registration required.
Obviously, to actually take advantage of the tips, you’d have to have a maple tree on your property (or permission from someone who does). But even those who don’t are welcome to come learn more about what goes into making syrup.
The flyer promotes that Tony Willoughby’s talk will cover:
- How to identify different maple trees
- When and how to tap
- Boiling techniques and
- Filtering & bottling
Willoughby has 15 years experience as an amateur maple syrup maker.
Updated (8/21/23 8:08 am): Although I listed the correct time, the flyer I failed to notice that the flyer I originally shared didn’t match. (It turns out that was a draft.) I replaced it with the updated version.
