24th Annual Maple Boil Down!

Saturday, March 11, 2023 ~ 11:00 am to 2:00 pm

***at the Growing Center, 22 Vinal Avenue, Somerville***

Rain/Weather Date: Sunday, March 12, 11:00 am - 2:00 pm

All are invited! Join in the fun. As part of this project, a team of volunteers tapped a swath of maple trees on the Tufts campus beginning in late January, collecting dozens of gallons of sap over a number of weeks. At the Maple Boil Down, coordinated by the Somerville Community Growing Center with help from Groundwork Somerville, we'll boil it all down into real, true 100% hyper-local maple syrup. At this event, youth and adults alike will have a chance to learn about tree anatomy and physiology, experience the process of making fresh maple syrup first-hand, and even get to sample the sap as it's boiling.
