The pandemic altered plans for Maine Maple Sunday in March, but the Maine Maple Producers Association announced that some farms will participate in a rescheduled fall weekend, October 10-11. In Gorham, local farms will participate but the activities and offerings will be limited.

Jo’s Sugarhouse (Hartwell Farm) will be open both days from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for product sales. There will also be an opportunity to pet the goats on the farm. Curbside pickup is available for those who feel more comfortable shopping from a distance. For the latest details, visit Jo’s Sugarhouse Facebook page.

Parson’s Farm and the Lockman Farm have opted to forgo Maine Maple Sunday this fall. Both have had success selling their maple products locally throughout the spring and summer. Given the restrictions with COVID, they feel more comfortable waiting until next year to hopefully participate as they have in previous years.
