Kemptville residents will get a chance to tour a sugar bush and sample locally made maple syrup in a few weeks.
“Maple Weekend,” an annual event organized by the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers’ Association, is coming to the Kemptville Campus’ Agroforestry Centre this April.
According to organizers, the showcase is being organized alongside the Kemptville Youth Centre and Kinsmen Club, with the proceeds going back towards those organizations and the people they support.
It’ll feature a pancake breakfast for attendees, live music performed by local musicians, and tours of the 18-acre Peter Wensink Maple Forest where participants can learn how maple syrup is harvested.
It’s happening on April 1st and 2nd. You’ll need to make either a cash or debit donation at the door to eat at the pancake breakfast. You can find more details, and reserve a table in advance, on the Maple Weekend Eventbrite page.
