Every spring in Maine, right when winter finally starts to back off, maple season takes over, and honestly, it’s one of the best times to get outside. Maine Maple Sunday Weekend is kind of a big deal around here, and one of the best places to check it out is Pineland Farms in New Gloucester. It has that classic Maine feel, but there’s also a lot going on, so it doesn’t feel like you’re just stopping in for five minutes.

What makes Pineland Farms stand out is how much they pack into the weekend. You can tour the sugarhouse and actually see how sap gets turned into syrup, which is way more interesting than it sounds. They usually have live boiling demonstrations, and the smell alone is worth going for. There are also maple tastings, everything from fresh syrup to candy, maple-themed crafts for the kids, and plenty of space to walk around and explore.
