We produce a variety of maple products and offer<br> educational events on the farm.

We<br>could also use a heavy duty cart or 3 if anyone has access. We have<br> been busy thinging out a new section of sugarbush which will be tapped<br>for the first time next year. There are many piles of wood that needs<br>to be moved to our chopping and staging area then stacked in the<br>shack. Kids can look for ramp seeds while adults haul wood and are<br> welcome to play in the creek if parents are ok with mud. We will feed<br>the crew ramp pesto pasta for lunch.</span></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><span style="font-size:13px">Location: <span>2247 Mecklenburg Rd., Enfield, NY 14850</span><br> <br>Directions from <span>Ithaca</span>: Take the #20 Tcat to Enfield 4 Corners then<br>walk 1/2 mile west to the first driveway past the bridge, or drive to<br>2247. 1st driveway is enter only, exit around the other side of the<br> house.
