This place is down a dead-end road, and I'd never have known it existed had I not driven by a tiny sign announcing they were having a syrup-making open house. It was here that I learned that there were multiple shades of maple syrup -- light, amber, dark, strong. Until that fateful day, the only thing I knew was that Mrs. Butterworth was not maple syrup. It was a Satanic hodgepodge of high fructose corn syrup and chemical flavorings. Real maple syrup comes from trees. These folks make real maple syrup from trees you can see and touch. It's fun for the kids, as they can see the tubing that runs from maple to maple in the woods, then winds up at the sugar house. During open houses, you can see the entire process first-hand, ask questions, and learn interesting Maple Facts that you can drop at cocktail parties. The sugar house itself is always open on an honor basis. You come in, take the syrup you want, and leave cash. They have a variety of sizes ranging from "here's a tiny bottle of local maple syrup" to "I think I had too many kids." read more

Great setup with tubes everywhere. Not boiling last weekend. Will check again soon. It seems to be the only sugar house in a pretty large area. read more
