We are very sorry to announce that our sugarbush will be closed again this year.
We expect to be back in 2022 and look forward to seeing you then.
We also expect to be open for Christmas Trees starting November 27 this year.

We have been proud to offer educational tours of our farms since 1964. The Sugarbush Tour is appropriate for people of any age. Feel free to contact us for further information or reservations.
