Hi All,
Well, this is Vermont Maple Open House Weekend -- Didn't see any Fairfax Sugar Houses listed, but most of us know sugarmakers here in town and can give them a call and see if they are boiling this weekend or not. Appears to be top notch sugar weather, mud & all. If you want to go to one catering to tours, there are a few right close by in Fairfield -- Just click on Franklin County on the following link:

Now if you would like to reminisce a bit with some of my tours since 2003 to different sugar houses I have some links below. Keep in mind that prior to 2004 Larry Ward had not provided me with this pop up free web site so those on the Tripod site have some real aggrivating pop-ups:
