When glorious Maple trees are adorned
with metal buckets you know Spring is in the air,
at least in cottage country Ontario!
Nature's alarm clock rings loud and clear in the sugar bush as Maple forests become a buzz with harvesters catching a fleeting moment in time to capture the inner goodness of the Maple tree. With oodles of fresh made Maple Syrup just waiting to be tasted, it's time to gather your friends and family to join in the celebrations with local harvesters this Spring.
