Highlights
  • White Meadows Farms - In our small corner of the world where the right trees and climate combine to make 100% Pure Maple Syrup, tours into the sugar bush are an annual winter tradition. However, we believe something this good and this rare deserves to be celebrated all year.

Join our expert sugar-maker on a one-hour journey beneath the iconic maple leaves of the “off-season” sugar bush and discover the modern world of maple syrup production, the traditions that have survived the centuries, and the innovations that make today’s farms thrive. Witness how, in our three generations of sugar-making, we still craft our syrup 100% pure and simple, with no additives or sacrifice to the sap’s natural nutrients.

Who are these expert sugar-makers? Our sugar-makers are the chief masters of all things maple on the Farm. Often very busy giving our tree herd its deserved TLC, they’re setting aside time to take you deep into the character and complexity of 100% Pure Maple Syrup. There’s never been a better chance to ask your toughest maple questions, like:

Why is maple syrup production often compared to wine?

What’s the science that causes maple syrup to get darker and stronger later in the season?

How does the soil make Ontario maple syrup unique?

Your Discover Maple Tour begins in our hub of maple syrup production, the Sugar Shack, and ventures by wagon to the heart of the maple factory, the forest. Here the masters unveil the world of maple syrup from sap collection to the health and wellness of the trees, as you venture along our groomed walking trail. Linger afterward in the shade of the mighty maples for a legendary sugar bush treat, “stick-to-your-lips” delicious, Taffy-on-Snow – another winter tradition we can’t let you miss.

More Sweet maple please! - This was a wonderful learning experience for my family and me. Please complete your experience with the tasting and platters! It made the difference in deciding to select more goodies to take home. We loved the maple bbq, maple blueberry jam, and dark maple. Everyone was absolutely kind and sweet! Also completely new was the maple taffy!

Fantastic family experience - Fantastic small group tour in beautiful countryside not far from Niagara. It was so good to get out of the hustle and bustle, see some of the county and learn about how maple syrup is harvested and produced. Lots of tasting opportunities including making 'taffy on snow' lollipops. The tractor ride into the forest to see the trees was lovely and we ended our tour with optional cheese/meats tasting boards which was enough for lunch. Would highly recommend this tour if in the Niagara area.

Who knew maple syrup could be used in so many different ways - We took the kids on this as something different to do in Niagara than the falls. It was an educational experience for us all and a lot of fun. The part we all enjoyed the most was making the maple candies at the end. We also did a tasting after our tour and enjoyed several maple infused products. There were so many great ones that we walked away with more maple products than just syrup.
