The best magazine
Each spring, Leane and Michael's Sugarbush is open up to the public. The annual Maple Syrup Festival is FREE and features music, candle making, food, treasure hunts, tours of the trees, a lesson in syrup making and, of course, plenty of delicious maple syrup to purchase. There is plenty to do for the whole family.
Although admission and parking are free, I suggest you bring your wallet. Available for purchase are handmade crafts and delicious meals.
Plus, you'll be tempted to pick up a bottle (or three) of syrup to bring home with you.
