Blyth Creek Maple Farm

Blyth Creek Maple Farm

Blyth Creek Maple Farm has made it its mission to bring the farm to people and provide a full experience for visitors. Val and Steve Bachert have designed a tour that walks you through the history of maple syrup production in Ontario, from an authentic Indigenous display using hot rocks to bring the sap to a boil to pioneer times introducing cast iron pots over open fires to the modern sugar shack with collecting tanks, vacuum pumps and an evaporator. Each station has activities for a hands-on learning experience.

Tours are available in March and April and can be booked online, and include a wagon ride through the trails, fun activities like the crosscut saw challenge and maple leaf branding, a visit to the farm to see the animals and the sweet shop to purchase and enjoy maple treats and baked goods!

Val brings a passion for food to their on-farm store. Sweet products are all homemade (except fudge) and available year-round. The Bacherts are continually developing unique recipes. Val says their maple hot sauce (a sriracha-based sauce) is a fan favourite and particularly good on chicken wings. Blyth Creek maple butter is unique, having no dairy in it. It is pure maple syrup boiled to a taffy stage and then stirred until crystalized into butter. You’ll have even more reasons to look forward to the holidays once you try the maple cranberry sauce. The Blyth Creek online store makes ordering easy for farm pick-up or convenient delivery.
