Celebrate Spring with the NH Maple Experience


The sap is running!
Spring has sprung here in the North Country, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by enjoying the New Hampshire Maple Experience! We opened the 2012 Maple season at TheRocks Estate on Saturday, and we’ll keep on celebrating for the next three weekends.

That means maple syrup tastings, chef demonstrations, horse-drawn wagon rides, and hands-on learning about maple sugaring.

This weekend we’ll welcome two local chefs to the Maple Experience, and you won’t want to miss what they’re cooking up. On Saturday, Chef Adam Parker from the Indian HeadResort will be here from noon-1p.m. dishing up a divine crumble salad with romaine lettuce, cranberries, blue cheese and walnuts topped with Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette. He’ll follow that with Maple-glazed Scallops with a Maple Beurre Blanc over pasta. Yum!

And if you missed Chef Orlo Coots of the Adair Country Inn & Restaurant last weekend, you’re in luck – he’ll be back at The Rocks on Sunday from noon-1 p.m. making his delicious Maple Balsamic Glaze, oh-so-good Whipped Maple Mascarpone, and delectable Walnut Angel Food Chiffon Cake.

Sour pickle face.
As if that’s not enough, the Maple Experience includes a tasting of our own local maple syrup, accompanied by the traditional fresh donut and sour pickle – the perfect blend of sweet and sour! We’re inviting all our Maple visitors to post a photo of their best “sour pickle face” on our Facebook page this season.

To find out more about the Maple Experience and all it includes, please visit the New Hampshire Maple Experience website.

Happy maple sugaring season!

The trees are tapped, the sap is flowing, and the weather forecast looks fabulous for this weekend’s kick-off to the New Hampshire Maple Experience!

We have lots of fun in store for visitors during Maple season, which will run the next four weekends at TheRocks Estate. From learning the history and process of maple sugaring and touring our picturesque property via horse-drawn wagon to sampling our very own maple syrup and getting a taste of some delicious maple recipes, we plan to pack a wallop of a maple punch into your Maple Experience!

Chef Orlo Coots of Adair Country Inn & Restaurant will be on hand this Saturday from 11 a.m. – noon, cooking up three delectable treats: Maple-Balsamic Glaze, Whipped Maple Mascarpone, and Walnut Angel Food Chiffon Cake. YUM! Chef Orlo will show you some of his culinary secrets and tips for incorporating maple goodness into your own cooking. You won’t want to miss these tasty treats!

The New Hampshire Maple Experience opens for the 2012 season Saturday, March 17. Maple tours will be offered throughout the season, on March 17, March 24-25, March 31-April 1, and April 7, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. each day. We recommend making reservations, which you may do by e-mailing us at info@therocks.org or calling 603-444-6228.
