October in the sugar woods means cutting brush to get the maples ready for sap pipeline.
Here we talk about expansion for next season and why we bypassed these maples before.

Check out that list of squash 😍😍
Roasted squash with a drizzle (ok…river! ed.) of maple butter down the middle - yummy!

We will be back at the barn this afternoon. Looking forward to more chats with the Small Holdings Farm community!

Our Thanksgiving tradition begins with a trip to Small Holdings Farm. On Thursday and Friday, we’ll be there with maple cream and maple butter for sale.
It will also give us two days to figure out which delicious vegetables we’ll be serving at our Thanksgiving table. Will it be enough time?
Stop in, pick up some local produce and give us your recommendations!

Here’s another fellow Nova Scotia maple producer.
Tapping 100% red maples takes us back to our beginnings in Elmsdale where we did the same.

Visitors to our sugar camp sometimes ask us: With all this maple syrup, do you ever get tired of eating it?

Never!!! We just look for more ways to use it. Maple syrup is soo much more than pancake topping. Look what we discovered this week!

Peaches are in season in Nova Scotia. Fresh peaches, sliced in a bowl with a drizzle of maple butter…yummy!

Twenty years ago, the Thompson Maple Sugar Camp was where we first saw maple cream being made. Years later, Stan Thompson & daughter Tina schooled us using the traditional methods for making cream.

We’re happy to see the current Thompson family keeping traditions alive!
