Maple Syrup Tours

Sap tastingDo you know what a carboy is?  Or spiles?  If not, bring the family to Maybury Farm for our Maple Syrup Tours!

Hey Mom, What Are We Going to do This Weekend?

Sound familiar? Here is the answer! Bring the family to Maybury Farm for a Maple Syrup Tour.  Take a hayride to the Maple tree grove, tap the trees, bring sap back to evaporator and watch how maple syrup is made. Your family will not only see all of the steps in producing maple syrup but they will also take part in the process.

Maple Syrup Tours for families are held each Saturday and Sunday through April 18 (Closed Easter Weekend). Tours are conducted at 12:00pm, 1:00pm, 2:00pm, and 3:00pm.  We advise wearing boots and warm clothing.  Tours are weather dependent.  Tours cannot be conducted in the rain.  Hundreds of families took part in this experience last year and absolutely loved it. 

Admission is $5 per person, 2 and under free.

Are you a teacher or scout leader and would like to bring your class or troup? No problem, tours are held during the week for groups of at least 12 or more, please call (248)374-0200 to schedule a tour.
