The County of Haliburton is celebrating all things maple this coming weekend. The County of Haliburton has put together the following list.
Colour of Wood
Hosted by: Wendy & Rick Wood
Rick and Wendy started making Maple syrup on their 25 acres of managed forest in 2015 with 90 taps on buckets. They now have almost 1,000 taps on pipeline. It all flows downhill to their sugar house. Just sap, gravity, lots of firewood and the help of Mother Nature. Their syrup is known for its unique label and wonderful taste. They are located at 1255 Peterson Rd. Minden Hills, 249-993-0134, colourofwood@ gmail.com
