24th Season for The Sap House

By Alexis Pencar

SHARON SPRINGS — The Sap House at Stone House Farm in Sharon Springs is BACK this Saturday, February 3rd for their 24th Season of delicious seasonal weekend Pancake breakfasts!

This tradition, ‘Pancakes in the Sap House at Stone House Farm’, is loved and enjoyed by many! Check out all-you-can eat pancakes, maple leaf shaped waffles, maple sausages, coffee, maple milk, orange juice, and all the maple fixings like maple syrup, maple butter, and maple sugar! They also have maple products for purchase too!

With fresh maple syrup from last year to start, the sap will be boiling right in the Sap House during breakfast once the sap runs, the smell is really something to experience for yourself!

They open for their 24th season this Saturday, February 3rd and will run for 12 weekends through April 21st. Breakfast hours are 8:00 AM until 1:00 PM.

The wonderful family behind the Stone House House Farm, the Everetts, have been there since 1964. Tim and Patti Everett took over the farm in 1986, and have been farming ever since! They recently expanded on the dairy side so come by and ask Tim all about it!

The whole family has a love for the maple syrup that runs so plentifully on their property and with all that help, they have been able to increase production each year! In 1994 The Everett’s started selling maple products on the farm and in 2001, decided to take it to the next level by opening up and serving the community these special breakfasts each year.

Stone House Farm currently operates a 5,000+ tap maple syrup operation with a wood-fired evaporator inside the Sap House. It's a family affair as Tim & Patti's daughters and their families (and more) also help with business. Each time you visit, there are several generations working together!

The Everetts welcome everyone to taste AND learn about maple syrup production February through April, during the traditional sap season.

The Sap House at Stone House is located at 305 Lynk Road, Sharon Springs, NY 13459. For more information, please contact (518) 284-2476 or www.thesaphouseatstonehousefarm.com.
