A Sweet Connecticut Tradition: Auerfarm Welcomes Families for Maple Weekend

March is maple month and Auerfarm is thrilled to invite you to join in the sweet celebration during CT Maple Weekend! Mark your calendars for March 14th & 15th, 2026, and bring your family, friends, and neighbors for a fun morning at Auerfarm’s Annual Pancake Breakfast and Maple Sugaring Demonstration Weekend.

Become a sugarmaker and learn how to tap a maple tree to collect sap. Then, follow the steam to the sugar shack to boil it down into that sweet amber color we know as syrup! After a hard day’s work, enjoy a farm-style breakfast and taste the freshly made maple syrup over a stack of homemade pancakes. After breakfast, partake in our teacup raffle, take the family for a stroll to visit the animals and spend time together in nature.

Don’t miss the opportunity to participate in this classic New England tradition of producing maple syrup. This year, we are pleased to offer three seating times on Saturday at 8:30 AM, 10 AM, and 11:30 AM and two on Sunday at 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM  to accommodate your family’s schedule. Visit www.auerfarm.org/events for more details and to get tickets.

This annual event helps to further Auerfarm’s mission of inspiring children and adults, to engage in, learn about, and enjoy agriculture, science, and the natural environment. Auerarm invites you to learn about the maple sugaring process, explore the maple tree grove, and connect with yourself, your family, and nature at the Annual Pancake Breakfast and Maple Sugaring demonstration event.
