Celebrate the end of winter chill with a sweet gift from the earth! Green Chimneys’ Maple Sugaring & Pancake Breakfast is a longstanding tradition and you are invited to our Clearpool Campus, chock-full of native sugar maples, to meet seasoned experts who will show you exactly how it’s done.
Sugar House, Clearpool Campus
Enjoy the wintry beauty of our wooded campus and a delicious breakfast. Then take a short walk to the Sugar House to see first-hand the maple sugaring process of boiling down sap to make pure maple syrup. Demonstrations throughout the morning will give visitors a complete look at the sugaring process, from tree to bottle. It’s a day of sweet memories and family fun for all ages.

With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
