December 1 UPDATE: Closed Saturday Dec 5 & Sunday Dec 6. No Dine-in, Take-out or on-site Shopping this weekend. Given the current volatility with COVID in Nova Scotia, we’ve decided to close this Saturday and Sunday so that our team can put our heads together and contemplate pivot options going forward.... This pause will give us the opportunity to strategize, plan and carry on with as much resilience and flexibility as possible in the ever-changing landscape these days. We are all healthy and have every intention of being as open as possible going forward, while following all NS Govt health guidelines. We’re in this for the long haul and our vision remains - bringing people together here on the farm to experience mapleand make memories. Our Online Shopcontinues to be open 24/7 and we ship Canada-wide. If you want to pick up product at the farm, you need to visit our online shop, purchase the product and we’ll get in touch to arrange contactless farm pickup. That’s it for this weekend. Stay tuned for an update next week!

Perfect SMF pancakesThis says it all. We’ve been making these pancakes on this grill for over 20 years. Pancakes are one of those foods: so simple and yet requiring much attention to ingredients and technique, like great biscuits. See the colour of beautiful Maritime-grown heritage Red Fife flour? The texture of the top that says they weren’t over-beaten? The fluffy rise from twice-the-normal-eggs and the tangy fresh buttermilk? The golden colour of GM-free organic PEI cano...la oil? It all adds up to amazing flavour and a perfect base for our pure maple syrup. Good food is #allabouttheingredients #organic #alphamills #speervilleflourmill #redfife #pancakes #maplesyrup
