Each year the last Sunday in March in Maine is Maple Sugar Sunday. Thankfully, some farms are open on Saturday as well (for those of us who want to go to church on Sunday morning!). Farms all over the state have open houses. Our friends Jason and Amber came with us to two farms about a half hour drive from our town. We enjoyed the pancake breakfast at Triple C Farm in Alfred, toured the barn and sugar shack (pictured above, which smells like toasted caramel with the evaporator going), and climbed on a tractor. Then we drove over to Harris Farm in Dayton, where we went on a hayride, smelled more syrup and fresh maple doughnuts, and petted more cows. Harris Farm was a better space for Ben to run around, but I'd be happy to visit both again next year.
Barns!
Chickens?
Tractor!
Hayride?
Cows!
