We’ll be gathering on Sandhill, 40 acres owned by Cynthia Bartoo and Ralph Jacobson, north of Menominee, Wisconsin. Join us anytime between 11AM & 3PM. Harvest quirky Jack Pines for Xmas trees or cut yourself some yule boughs or firewood.

Donations accepted.

Or get away on a tromp through woods and prairie.

And help prepare for next spring’s maple syruping, in a new location, closer to the road. We have mostly completed an improved firebox

(no more smoke in the eyes!).

We still need to get the chimney up and to drag the 100-gallon tank down and establish it in its new location.)

Kid friendly: Hot cider & warming tipi available on site.

Call Cynthia Bartoo for more information, maps and car-pooling connections. If you think you might come, please let her know. This is because we are uncertain enough about the weather that we want to know how many to prepare for, especially children, and also how long we should stay out there, to welcome latecomers. Cynthia will have information, maps and car-pooling connections. (It’s about a 90 minute drive from the Twin Cities.)

If you are carpooling with us, arrive at Ralph and Cynthia’s at 8:30. We’ll pack ourselves and our gear into as few cars as possible and Depart for Sandhill at 8:45.
If you come, but don’t carpool, here are directions.
Bring a hand saw if you have one. And loppers. We will have extras.
Bring your own lunch. We’ll have a stove, cider and tea.
