Stopping at Jorns was one of my favorite things about my visit to Door County. I have never seen a gallon of maple syrup before today but let me tell ya, if I used it often enough and had the patience to decant in into smaller bottles to her at home I may have bought one. Drive slowly as you're heading to Jorns, because this is truly one of those "blink and you'll miss it" type experiences. And even when you've found the place and then start to enter the drive, you'll think you've made huge a mistake and are being lured into something nefarious since it's surrounded by trees. But then you see the little shack in the back, with the weathered sign welcoming you to Jorns Sugar Bush. There's no parking lot; there are a couple parking-space-like empty spots in the midst of this copse of trees. It was such a true pleasure to meet Roland Jorn. I was not expecting to have a chat with the 96-year-old proprietor of the maple shack on my way out of Door County, but it was fun to learn about him, and his family--and even the murder mystery that exists in their distant past. I had my sleepy toddler with me and he was delighted to meet her too. I haven't tried the maple syrup yet. But I've heard plenty that this is the place to get it so I can't wait to give it a try. Jorn's helpers were in the background filling bottles of syrup, and they're able to sell via the internet if you go to their site. The place is cash only, so make sure to stop at the ATM on your way in. read more

This is a small business owners and they make their own maple syrup. My husband never failed to make sure to pass by here whenever he's in Door County. He buys a huge bottle of maple syrup. I bought some as well for my family. They accept cash only. The good thing here is that they collaborate with other small businesses and they sell them on their store as well. I got the maple caramel and oh it was so good that I wished I bought more. It's not like a typical caramel that sticks to your teeth. This type melts in your mouth kind of goodness and oh so yummy.. those caramels were created by her sister in law I thought. And I thought those should be promoted as one of their flagship products too. read more

So I'm not sure why this is 2 dollar signs because these prices are some of the best in the Door! Sweetest guy, good food and absolutely just a treat! read more

After reading a lot about this place this trip we decided to make it happen. THis seems to be a must stop for a lot of people and I can't believe I had never even heard of it before. Its a small place in a rural area just off the main road a few minutes at most.,It is a little cottage next to what I assume is their house. It's a very woody area and just looks like a place you should buy Maple Syrup. Inside is small and they have bottles of syrup in various sizes, they also carry some other local food products. The prices for syrup are excellent compared to what we normally pay for pure real stuff. We bought a half gallon to start with. Be prepared they are cash only. They have been making syrup for over 100 years, I think they got it down by now. This is the best syrup you can get from people who know and care about what they are doing. It will make you feel good about where your food is coming from when you buy from a place like this read more

So charming, amazing maple syrup and incredible conversation. Can't visit door county without stopping by!

This hidden gem is tucked away off county T near Egg Harbor. You'd drive right past it if it weren't for the banner and sign hanging by the driveway. If you go in and no one is there, ring the door bell. The people who run it live in the house next to the store. Inside you will find the bedt maple syrup in Door county. And yes, they give samples. They have been making and bottling it for years. There are many kinds of preserves and other novalty items. This quaint lityle dtore is well worth a look if you're in the area. A few things to note: they only take cash and they vary their hours seasonally. read more

Small little place...somewhat of a hobbit hole, part above-ground root cellar. Exact atmosphere I want for a jam, jelly, and preserves shop. Up in mid and North Door County, WI, the absence of franchises is refreshing. One will find little maple syrup shops, or restaurants, any other businesses are locally owned. So this small one-room shop has a cool interior temp and the few shelves on the wall are filled with jars of cherries, grown local. All the jams and jellies made from the same cherries, some blended with strawberries or raspberries. A whole slew of sizes of real Wisconsin maple syrup, all of which is still primarily collected by the proprietor, a man in his 80s. We didn't meet him, he was out with in the woods with a chainsaw that day doing some routine cleanup, she said. Find it. Stop in. They also ship. read more

I was concerned, after reading the other reviews, that going here was going to be a touching hour-long journey where you feel guilty for not buying gallons of syrup. No, it was a pretty normal shopping experience, but you probably shouldn't stop here unless you want some syrup or pancake mix or something. You have to ring the bell to get service, and in our case she ambled over with a walker and a big friendly personality. Wouldn't let me hold the door for her or anything. We chatted about this and that while we finished our shopping. The store is small, but hardly anything on the shelves I saw at any of the other shops on the peninsula. People said this was hard to find, but no, it is very easy to get to and they have a big sign out front, and you can see the neon "OPEN" sign in the window from the road. Just drive on T and look on the north side of the road. So give them a visit. read more

Jorns Sugar Bush - Hours - Specialty Food Near Me - Egg Harbor, Wisconsin

Excellent place for maple syrup from their maple trees. Try all their products. You will be completely hankering for more. Visit in the Fall to see the Fall colors. read more

Very good prices on all their products and the owners are very friendly. They have a great variety of jellies and jams besides maple syrup

Small shop off the side of the road with syrups, ice cream toppings, popcorn, etc. Syrup sample was very good. Wish we could have purchased something, but the shop is cash only, no sign was posted, no ATM available, and we had just used the last of what we had on us. She said we could write her a check as well, but I'm 30 so I'm still on the starter pack of checks at home as it's not a thing people my age do. A small square reader to accept debit/credit cards would make a world of difference, even if you imposed a minimum charge, better than missing out on business in 2016 in IMHO. read more

Jorns Sugar Bush - Cute building - Specialty Food Near Me - Egg Harbor, Wisconsin

It really is in the bush! They have a variety of D.C. products but I went for their own homemade syrup that they said they make on the premises. Only bought a small bottle but after having tried it on pancakes tonight, I'll be back for more. FYI, it's lighter in color and less thick than mass produced syrups but the flavor is great. read more

A wonderful family business with top-notch products. Just entering their office is to step back in time but their products are fabulous in any age. Do not be put off by whiny reviews about having to pay cash (boo hoo!) or that it is hard to find (it isn't)--you want the best maple syrup in the Midwest? This is where you have to go. read more

We recently stopped by Jorns during a long weekend trip to Egg Harbor. We weren't sure if they were open--it was pouring down rain at the time, and was all closed up. But Mr. Jorn himself came out and opened the shop up. This stop ended up being the highlight of our trip, as we started talking to Mr. Jorn and learned that he had grown up with my grandfather and his siblings, and remembered well my great-grandfather. It was a real pleasure and truly an honor to meet him. Oh, and the maple syrup can't be beat! read more

We just kind of stumbled on Jorns Sugar Bush while visiting Door County. It is slightly off the beated path, so get directions. This is about as real as you can get, especially in a touristy place like Door County. As much as we appreciated the quality products they sold, it was meeting Mr. and Mrs. Jorn that was the real treat. Down to earth folks and stories to tell that are worth listening to. I would tell anyione visiting Door County that a trip to Jorns is a must-do. You can get your Cherry-whatever from any of dozens of places right along the highway in Door County, but the best maple products and some salt-of-the-earth people are at Jorns. read more

Best maple syrup in Door County. Ring the doorbell, if nobody is in the store. Donna will come down from the house and take care of all your maple syrup, honey and canned jams, jellies and pickle needs. Buying these incredible handcrafted delicacies, straight from the source, is as local as it gets. You won't be disappointed. read more

All you need to know is that the White Gull Inn was chosen as the Best Breakfast in America (by Good Morning America) for their cherry stuffed French toast. And guess which syrup the White Gull Inn has been serving since the 1940's? Yup, Jorns. FWIW, it gets my highest recommendation as well. I never visit Door County without stopping at Jorns for several half gallons. When you visit, ring the bell, walk in, and give Mrs Jorns are few minutes to come down to the shop. This place is like stepping back in time and the syrup never disappoints. read more

Excellent prices on items you'll see all over Door County - jams, chocolate-covered cherries, etc. It may take a few minutes after you ring the bell for someone to come help you, but it's well worth the wait. read more

We also stumbled onto this place as we pulled into town and said let's check it out on yelp to see what that little place was...later in the week, someone mentioned this was the place to go for maple syrup. So we searched on yelp, found the address, pulled in and walked up to the shop. A little sign says ring the bell, go inside, turn on the lights, be patient and we will be right with you. So we did. A few minutes later we see Donna coming through the yard with her walker. She came into the shop, sat down and proceeded to talk to us about her family, the history of making maple syrup, Door County and the best part of all was that her husband was still out in the fields harvesting hay at 85 years old. We purchased many items and will skip the dried cherries from anyone else in the future. The maple syrup is the best! You can only purchase at the store or by calling Donna - the web site is informational only. Don't plan on just stopping in for a quick purchase. Plan to stay and chat with them for at least an hour....you won't be disappointed. read more

We "found the source" last week and I stocked up on the pitted cherries. It makes the best crisp/pie, etc. on the planet. I prefer the plain pitted cherries to any of the pie filling/sweetened types of cherries. The store is a gem, and Donna is a sweetheart as well. A little off the beaten track, but very fun adventure and well worth the effort of finding it off the main drag. Enjoy! read more
