Our Blueberries

We are proud to offer you our delicious blueberries. Our blueberry farm has 1,000 blueberry plants of various varieties. They are available from mid-July through mid-August, either at the stand or through pick-your-own.

Maple Syrup

We are maple syrup producers and are proud to offer you top-quality syrup. Whether by the can, by the gallon (8 sticks), as maple butter, maple taffy, in a cone, in a pie, etc., it’s a pleasure to serve you during sugaring season. However, please check to make sure we’re open before stopping by during this time.

Products We Offer

From mid-July to early November:

  • A stand filled with “homemade” products (blueberry, apple, and maple);
  • On weekends in September and October, our bistro offers soups, sandwiches, and pastries to enjoy outdoors or in our dining room, depending on the weather…
  • During apple season, every weekend, we serve delicious apple-maple fritters, apple taffy, popcorn, and our famous MacInslosh (apple fritters)! A real treat.

Throughout the year, you can purchase many of our products (cider vinegar, spreads, pastries, maple syrup, etc.) right here on our property. However, it’s best to call ahead to make sure we’re there.
