Somerville Maple Syrup Project

The Somerville Growing Center is sponsoring a Maple Syrup Project, which involves collecting sap from local maple trees and boiling it down to syrup. The sap was collected earlier this month. Blogger darry at boston localvores wrote a great description of the sap collection experience.

Even if you missed the sap collection stage, you can still make the Boil Down at the Growing Center, Friday, March 13 and Saturday, March 14, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Growing Center is located at 22 Vinal Ave., near Union Square. For more info, call Aviva at 617-628-9988 or email aviva.asher@gmail.com.
