Maple Syrup Breakfast and Farm Tour

This morning we braved the cold and headed to Croghan New York for the Maple Syrup Festival and Pancake Breakfast. Every year around this time I hear about it but we have never went and thought we better go this year. So out we went in the 32 degrees it was. These things are pretty popular. So we stood for 45 minutes outside waiting to get into the building. Once inside and seated with our good friends, The Horrigans, we enjoyed home made Pancakes and fresh syrup with Sausage, YUMMY!!. After breakfast we headed to the farm where we enjoyed a tour of the factory and learned how they need 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup. We saw all the pipes and hoses and boilers before we climbed in a wagon lead by horses to show us all the maple trees. The kids had a blast!!
