Maple Season is fast approaching. We thank everyone for your support throughout the pandemic. We have missed the opportunity to mingle with our visitors and we hope this year to be open this year with necessary Covid protocols. Please follow our blog for regular updates as the season progresses.
This will be our 49th year making syrup on this farm. Where do the years go?
Our forests are proving to be resilient and with careful management continue to be healthy and vigorous despite the ice storms, windstorms, droughts and hordes of caterpillars that we have encountered over the years Areas that were fields are now forests and seedlings have grown to become tappable trees. It is truly remarkable and gratifying when we consider just how much our trees have grown over the years!
The long-range forecast looks “normal” so we will start tapping during the last week of February, and we typically gather our first runs of sap in the second week of March. Plans change in a hurry if warm weather arrives.
Last year we introduced an online ordering system which worked well. We invite you to place orders anytime for our 2022 crop online or by calling the farm at 613 256 5216.
