The Ontario Maple Syrup Producers’ Association (OMSPA) is pleased to announce the return of the successful agricultural and fall harvest event, Fall in Love with Maple, for its third year.
Running from Sept. 30 to Oct. 8, Fall in Love with Maple invites visitors to head out to a participating sugarbush from 17 locations across Ontario to see the fall colours and celebrate the changing of the seasons in a sweet way.
“Fall is a time when we celebrate the harvest, and Fall in Love with Maple is a great way to get out in the fresh air and sample maple syrup, chat with small farmers, and celebrate our region’s agricultural bounty,” Leann Thompson, Chair of the OMSPA Maple Weekend working group said.
Create and coordinated by OMSPA, Fall in Love with Maple is a celebration of the Canadian tradition of maple syrup production, and this year features nine days of activities and specials at participating maple syrup producers across the province. This fun, free, family-friendly event will run daily Sept. 30 to Oct. 8 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. *Participating sugarbushes may limit their participation to specific weekends or days and visitors are encouraged to check the website before heading out.
Visitors to Fall in Love with Maple can expect to experience the best of fall, like vibrant foliage featuring brilliant shades of gold, orange, and red. The event will feature guided or unguided trail walks, outdoor activities, and chatting one-on-one with the maple syrup producers who make this sweet liquid gold each spring.
This year there will be 17 producers taking part in Fall in Love with Maple with participants from Algoma, Algonquin & District, Eastern Area, Lanark & District, Haliburton-Kawartha, and Waterloo-Wellington.
A list of participating maple syrup producers is available on the Ontario Maple website, along with further details about specials and activities. Visitors are invited to visit the website at www.ontariomaple.com/fall-in-love-with-maple for more information.
