Archived: Last Chance to Visit Maple Syrup Operation Near St. Joseph

Do you like maple syrup? This weekend is the last chance to visit Stearns County’s maple syrup operation at Wildwood County Park.

Operation Managers Tom and Shelly Carlson say they have been collecting sap from this site for nearly 30 years and they love to show people how the operation is run.

During a tour visitors see how the Carlson family mixes new technology with traditional sap collecting techniques to collect thousands of gallons of sap from more than 15,000 taps.

The maple syrup open house will be Saturday from 1- 4 p.m. at Wildwood County Park, which is located at 29709 Kipper Rd. St. Joseph.

If you want to visit at a different time, email Shelly Carlson at carlsonwildwoodranch@msn.com or call her at (320) 363-7784.
