Farm Tours

See the farm and enjoy the fruits of our harvest

We offer a wide variety of farm tours, from tours of our maple sugarbush to apple cider tours, tailored for groups of all ages and sizes. They range from informal, self-guided walking tours to guided wagon rides, educational tours for schoolchildren, and tours tailored for your group’s interests. Contact us to discuss your vision for a farm tour, and we’ll help you create a visit to remember.

Maple Sugaring Tours

Visitors are welcome to come on the weekends during our Maple Syrup Celebration, when we offer ongoing informational tours in the sugar house as well as wagon rides to the sugar bush. Plenty of information is provided on an ongoing basis, and no appointment is necessary. These public tours are offered on specific Saturdays and Sundays from 9am–3pm. See our calendar for dates.

Please note

All tour start and stop times are pre-established. It is important that you arrive on time in order to have a complete tour. We can accommodate a shorter tour; however, visitors will not experience all that we have to offer.

In the fall, an indoor eating space is available by reservation for groups that want to bring a lunch to eat before or after the tour. A visit to our gift shop can also be arranged. Groups over the age of 21 can also visit the Tap Room as part of their tour.

As a farm, our celebrations, activities, and hours change by the season and day of the week. Learn what’s happening now and year round.
