Maple sugarhouses
Maple season in New Hampshire has its own kind of beauty. It is quieter than fall, colder than berry season, and more connected to the work behind the farm. The best sugarhouse visits bring together steam, sap, syrup, woodsmoke, stainless evaporators, old buckets, maple candy, cream, sugar, and spring roads that are just waking up.
These sugarhouses, farm stores, and spring stops deserve their own mud-season weekend, not a footnote after fall.
