Join Us for Maple Sugaring Season at Prescott Farm!
Maple sugaring is one of the oldest traditions in New England, and at Prescott Farm, we are proud to keep this tradition alive. Volunteers play a key role in making our Tap into Maple program a welcoming and enriching experience for participants as they explore the sugaring process.
We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help share the knowledge and fun of maple sugaring with the public! There are a variety of ways to get involved, including:
Weekday Sap Collecting - Help gather sap from our maple trees.
Maple Tour Assistant - Support educators as they guide guests through the sugaring process.
Sugar House Support/Lead - Assist in the boiling process and share the magic of turning sap into syrup.
Innovation Center Support - Engage visitors in hands-on learning activities related to maple sugaring.
As a volunteer, you’ll gain hands-on experience in our maple sugaring operation while contributing to an unforgettable seasonal tradition.
Interested in joining us? Sign up today and be part of the fun!
