Join other visitors for a friendly, relaxed guided tour of our working maple farm. Our small groups make it easy to ask questions, enjoy hands-on activities and discover the traditions of Nova Scotia maple syrup making.

Perfect for couples, families, solo travellers and visitors looking for an authentic Nova Scotia experience.

Enjoy the same behind-the-scenes maple farm experience without joining other visitors. A wonderful option for families, friends, special occasions or anyone who prefers a more personal visit.

A Maple Farm Experience Beyond Maple Season

During the active maple season, you may have the opportunity to see parts of the maple-making process happening in real time, depending on weather and sap flow.

Outside the traditional maple season, our demonstrations, working equipment and walk through the sugar woods help bring the entire maple syrup story to life.

There’s something interesting to discover throughout spring, summer and fall!

 

Some portions of the tour take place outdoors, and parts of our farm have uneven ground. Comfortable footwear and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended. We’re happy to adjust the route and pace when possible for guests with mobility concerns.

Photos are always welcome, and there are plenty of opportunities to capture memories of your visit!

Visit Our Little Farm Shop

Our farm shop is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., featuring pure Nova Scotia maple syrup made right here on the farm, along with a changing selection of handmade maple treats, preserves, gifts and souvenirs.

You don’t need to book a farm tour to stop by the shop.
