Sugar Bush

Nothing is more Canadian than the majestic Sugar Maple Tree: inspiration for our national flag, painter of our glorious autumn landscape, source of excellent hardwood and producer of the sweet sap from which Maple Syrup is made.  From birch bark containers to log troughs, to wooden buckets and iron kettles, to plastic pipelines and oil-fired and reverse osmosis systems, Maple Syrup remains as it always has been; our first taste of springtime in Ontario...our sweet heritage.  Here at Wintergreen, we tap 120 acres of Sugarbush, with approx 1,000 taps on pipeline, and a demonstration  bush with buckets and spiles ...for you to dip your finger in and taste the sweet sap ( about 1.5-2% sugar content)
