We've started boiling
We've been busy sugar-makers this month, boiling sap everyday since March 3rd. Come to the Sugar Shack to see how we transform the sap into maple syrup and try some yummy samples.
March Break Activities
Join us everyday between March 13 - 21, 2010 for our Pancake Breakfast and take a tractor drawn wagon ride over to The Sugar Bush Adventure where you can take a self guided tour and learn from staff dressed in period costume how the process of sap to syrup was discovered by the pioneers and natives.
Our Pancake House is open 8:30am - 3:30pm
Maple Sweet Shop is open 9:00am - 5:00pm
Sugar Bush Adventure is open 9:30am - 3:30pm
ps. Don't forget to dress appropriately for the weather. We suggest wearing boots if your going on the Sugar Bush Adventure as it can get muddy!
We've had babies
Visit our petting farm to see the now week old (born Saturday March 6th, 2010) baby goats.
We also are expecting another Goat to give birth and one of our Alpacas.
Musket Demonstration
Join us April 2nd and 3rd on our Sugar Bush Adventure as Austin demonstrates how to fire a Brown Bess Musket (reproduction) from the 1750's.
Did you know...
Tapping does no permanent damage to the tree.
Each tap yields an average of 8 buckets of sap per season, yielding about one liter of syrup.
It takes 40 litres of sap to make one litre of syrup.
A liter of pure Maple Syrup weighs 1.34 Kg, opposed to a liter of water which weights only 1 Kg. |
