Benjamin Logan Environmental Science enthusiasts visited the Kavanagh Farm, home of Bruce and Jodie Kavanagh, located along U.S. Route 68 Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 21, where they gained insights into the art of harvesting sap and the syrup-making process. Engaging in hands-on activities, they actively participated in collecting 40 gallons of sap, navigating through the muddy terrain. Then they went to the sugar shack to see the evaporator boiling. To conclude their day, they savored homemade topped pancakes with the syrup produced on the farm. “It was fun for all,” Jodie shared of hosting the club members. (Benjamin Logan PHOTO)
