This is a walking tour that lasts 2-3 hours. Approximately 3 kms total walking distance with many breaks. Effort is easy but guests should be very steady on their feet. Terrain is mainly flat but uneven trails that can become slippery with mud and ice. Proper footwear is highly recommended. Not suitable for strollers. Child carriers recommended.
Tour description: Enjoy a beautiful and breathtaking walk through our bush where you witness the first early signs of spring--melting snow, dripping trees, and flowing creeks. Along your walk, your tour guide will share some of the post-colonial history of The Roost Farm. Upon arrival to the sugar bush, you will learn about the simple science of the maple harvest, traditional to modern day sap gathering practices and syrup production. You will visit two operating sugar shacks to witness a more traditional hobbyist set up, as well as a larger scale commercial operation. Guests will have the opportunity to taste our farm made syrup before returning to the meeting point at the main farm.
