March is Maple Month in Massachusetts! As temperatures warm and Massachusetts enters “sugar weather” sugar houses open their doors to the public for tours, sampling, demonstrations, and other special events.

Maple season typically only lasts about 4 – 6 weeks depending on the weather, so you don’t want to miss out! Visit the sugar houses at Ioka Valley Farm and Maple Corner Farm!

The Massachusetts Maple Producers Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of maple sugaring in Massachusetts.

The Berkshires was named among the 50 Most Beautiful Places in America by Condé Nast Traveler! Start planning your visit today!

"There’s fall foliage, and then there’s Berkshires fall foliage. This hilly region of Massachusetts—a long-popular escape for New York and Boston urbanites—comes alive with color during the autumn months, especially along the 63-mile Mohawk Trail. Fill your days with leaf peeping, then rest up in one of the area’s many cozy boutique hotels."

You've heard about the spacious skies and amber waves of grain, but what about the otherworldly deserts, prismatic hot springs, and fairytale forests?
