The Maple Times

Brought to you by White Meadows Farms March 13, 2009

Next week is March Break

Which means the Pancake House and Sugar Bush Adventure will be open all week long. It looks like it’s going to be a great week for outdoor family fun. Visit The Weather Network for an up to date report on the weather here at the farm. Don’t forget to pick up some Maple Kettle Corn for the ride home.

The Sap is Flowing

According to the weather report we will be boiling all week long starting on Sunday. What a great time to come and see how we turn sap into syrup. It smells so good in the Sugar Shack. When we boil for long periods of time, the air around the pancake house starts to smell like maple syrup it makes you hungry for some homemade pancakes and butter tarts.

Dates to Remember

Story time in the Petting Farm (March 16 - 20): This is a new event for March Break, featuring some of our favourite children books such as “If you give a pig a pancake” by Laura Numeroff and “Last in line” by local author Brian Cretney. Perfect for ages 2 to 8. Starts at 1 pm in the Petting Farm.

St. Patrickʼs Day (Mar. 17, 2009): There will be a special treat for kids on a first come first served basis. Who does not love a special occasion to wear green and pretend that they are Irish for a day.
