Maine Maple Weekend

In Maine the fourth weekend in March is always "Maine Maple Weekend." This is a 2-day event when members of the Maine Maple Producers Association [MMPA] such as Eureka Farms, open their sugarhouses to the public for a day of seeing the process of making maple syrup up close. It is a free event and very well attended at sugarhouses all across the great State of Maine.

Another staple at Eureka Farms on Maine Maple Sunday is Gifford's vanilla ice cream. We provide free samples of the delicious ice cream with warm maple syrup drizzled on top. There is also a team of draft horses or a tractor giving sleigh or wagon rides weather permitting.

Of course all of our delicious products are available for purchase and some are available for sampling.

Her beautiful products, which were not limited to just bowls were also for sale. Not only are we a family orientated business here at Eureka Farms but we’re community minded as well. We have food concessions available so visitors can purchase refreshments while they are here at Eureka Farms.

Maine Maple Sunday at Eureka Farms is a great time for the entire family and it's made possible by the generous donation of time by our army of volunteers which is all friends and family.
