We have been making maple syrup on a small scale since
moving to [Duffys Lane], Caledon a few years ago. Our friends that we shared
the syrup with raved about it, so this winter we decided to get a bit more
serious and have a new evaporator from Patrick Phaneuf, who makes them
just outside Quebec City. Visitors will be welcomed when the sap starts
to flow. Normally the season is from about March 21 to April 15 but it
is totally weather dependent. We will post notices here when we are starting
to make syrup.
On a normal day we start collecting sap from the buckets around noon and
start boiling a little later. When the flow hits peak we often need to
boil from 7:00 AM till midnight.
We will have syrup for sale in sizes from 50ml to 4L. We will be posting
prices here soon,
with pictures of the containers. If you would like to reserve some, or
come up to visit, please give us a call at 905 - 880 - 7876
We can ship also ship if you can't come by."
