Helpful tips for Maplefest

McLean's Sugar Bush is an essential part of our working farm. We tap about 1300 trees and collect all of our sap by hand, about 15,000 gallons by the time the season is finished. It is said you can't make syrup without mud and when we drive over the ground with machinery as the frost is coming out - it does get muddy. Bring along a pair of boots.

McLean's Farm Market will be open serving hot drinks Maple Syrup, Maple Baking, Maple Sugar, Maple Butter, Fudge, Maple Popcorn, Hot Chili and fresh bread, Hot Apple Cider. The wood stove is on. Dine in the open air or eat your pancakes in the comfort of our Market while tapping your foot to live music.

It's going to be a GRAND TIME - Don't miss it!
