Life in New Hampshire gets just a little bit sweeter in March with the celebration of New Hampshire Maple Month, highlighted by Maple Weekend on March 16-17. Plan a visit to one or more of these wonderful sugarhouses recommended by our real estate agents.
- Fadden's General Store & Maple Sugarhouse - 109 Main St., North Woodstock, NH 03262
During nearly a century of operation spanning seven generations, Fadden's General Store & Maple Sugarhouse has been recognized with numerous awards, including the coveted Governor's Cup for best maple syrup in North America. While the product remains first-rate, the Fadden family has made several changes to stay current with state-of-the-art equipment and methods. Collection buckets on the 7,500+ taps have been replaced with plastic tubing, and all other equipment is made from either stainless steel or food-grade plastic. Fadden's is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. - 9 p.m., making it a convenient stop after a day of viewing Woodstock homes for sale.
- Fuller's Sugarhouse - 267 Main St., Lancaster, NH 03584
The seed for Fuller's Sugarhouse was planted decades ago when 17-year-old Dave Fuller was learning the art of syrup-making from his grandfather. Today, three generations of Fullers are involved in running the sugarhouse, located only minutes from Lancaster homes for sale. In addition to maple products, the quaint country store features specialty foods and gift items made by local artisans. Hours are 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Sunday.
- Sunnyside Maples - 1089 Rte. 106 N., Loudon, NH 03307
In 1955, Lauris Moore upgraded his maple syrup operation by moving to a sugarhouse that actually had cement floors and electric lights. The Moore family still operates Sunnyside Maples on the same site, about 40 minutes away from Plymouth homes for sale, but Lauris would be astounded by the modern-day advances in producing maple syrup. Sunnyside's gift boxes include buttermilk pancake mix along with maple syrup, maple cream, and all the fixings for a delightful weekend brunch. Need a special gift for a wedding, corporate meeting, or business gift? Everyone will appreciate a small decorative bottle of Sunnyside's maple syrup. Sunnyside Maples is open daily from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. until mid-April.
- Eldridge Family Sugar House and Ice Cream Shoppe - 183 Plains Road, Tamworth, NH 03886
At Eldridge Family Sugar House and Ice Cream Shoppe, just down the street from Tamworth homes for sale, maple and soft serve takes its rightful place on the list of great food pairings. The family's signature maple soft serve draws visits from locals and tourists alike. Maple syrup makes an appearance as a topping on Breakfast for Dessert, which is maple soft serve in a puffle cone with an additional sprinkle of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Enjoy guided tours and free samples during Maple Weekend. Hours through March are noon - 5 p.m. Saturday and noon - 4 p.m. Sunday.
- New Hampshire Maple Experience - The Rocks, 113 Glessner Road, Bethlehem, NH 03574
Get a fascinating look at the history of sugaring down through the years at New Hampshire Maple Experience, not far from Bethlehem homes for sale.
