Write a commentYardley’s Maple Syrup Sugar Shack is ready for you to come out and see how the sweet, delicious topping is made.
Joseph is near the evaporator ready to answer any questions you have about how it is made while the next batch is being produced. He and his wife, Hannah, do a great job explaining all the aspects of the sugaring process.
“So far, we have 1,100 gallons but the season is going strong and we could see the strongest season ever,” Hannah Yardley says, “which is nice after last year being one of the weakest.”
Besides slapping it on fluffy pancakes in the morning, you might decide to make maple cookies or some maple candy. Some people put in their coffee while others put it on vegetables—like Brussels sprouts. They also have a maple powder you can add to whipped toppings, yogurt, or tops of cookies and cakes. All sorts of things you can do with that.
You could just grab a box of cookies to go. They have them made right there alongside the candies. The hit with the kids seemed to be maple flavored popcorn. I think every one of them had a bag. And let’s not forget the pup and his maple flavored bone. And so much more! There is something for the entire family.
Don’t forget to grab the maple syrup on your way out with gallons for $50 and half gallons for $30. They do have smaller bottles for sale on the stand, but I obviously like a bigger jug of the stuff.
Yardley’s Maple Sugar is family owned and run. You will be greeted there as family with a sample and coffee on hand. Yardley’s is open Sunday 10am -4pm and next weekend, March 28 and 29, both 10am-4pm. They are at 524 County Route 64 in Mexico. See you at the Sugar Shack!
