Maple Season & Activities

We are open every day during the sugarbush season each year (in March and April).

We advertise the dates we'll be open clearly here and on social media.

During the season we boil fresh sap nearly every day to make syrup.

On weekends we operate a small wood-fired evaporator and kettles over open fires just for visitors. You can experience and taste the whole range of maple syrup making from pioneer method, traditional, to modern syrup making.

We also offering:

  • Tasting maple taffy, syrup, fudge, and candy
  • A beautiful trail system for exploring the sugarbush
  • Tall tails and fun with the Kettle Boys
  • Great spots for enjoying a picnic
  • Skiing and snowshoeing

We are dog-friendly and welcome photography.

About Fortune Farms

  • Stewardship

    We are federally licensed to produce maple products and our forests and processes are also certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC® C018800) through the Eastern Ontario Model Forest’s Forest Certification Program.

    We have received national, provincial, and local awards for our stewardship, and we are committed to the long-term health and ecological integrity of our forests. Our home farm is an old growth hardwood and white pine stand and some of the trees are well over 400 years old. It is truly a special place.

  • History & Land

    The Fortune Family has been making maple syrup since the 1840s, throughout six generations. For the first 100 years, the family farmed in Leeds County close to Athens, and have been operating the current farm in Lanark County since 1972.

    Our farms are situated on well drained sandy loam soils over white marble bedrock. This unique combination creates ideal growing conditions for maple trees and produces syrup with rich and full flavour.
