Along the walk through the sugar bush you will learn all about the many species of trees that make our forest unique. At our Native Camp you will meet reenactors who will share the legend of the discovery of maple syrup, see how Pioneers learned the maple ways of the natives and used new tools to help sweeten their lives. It takes two to cut wood the old fashion way, as you learn how to be a lumberjack. A must have treat from the deep woods is maple taffy on snow, or a campfire roasted hot dog, then get lost in the sap line maze. Our musicians and re-enactors will keep you and your family entertained for hours. Enjoy some skating and tobogganing in a beautiful country setting on our Barnyard Skating Rink and toboggan hill. A wonderful way to spend a few hours on weekends in January and February.(weather permitting) Then, Come inside and enjoy our warm and friendly Maple Lodge for a Hot and Fresh all day breakfast. Pancakes are just the beginning at our farm, with all the Pure Maple Syrup you can enjoy. Year Round: Maple Sweet Shop Our Maple Sweet Shop is open all year long, to serve you with the best quality maple products possible. We hand make many maple products right on the farm; from the sweet (Maple Syrup, Maple Candies, Maple Butter...) to the savory (Maple BBQ Sauce, Maple Herb Dressing, Maple Vinegar...) we have something to please every taste bud. Free Tastings of our 4 grades of maple syrup, along with our other products made with pure maple syrup.

The sugar rush has passed, so I can sit and write this without twitching....This place is amazing! I moved to Welland from Montreal, and I've been to some of the best Cabanes a Sucre in Quebec.

“Taste maple syrup levels”

Reviewed 3 October 2012

Light, medium, amber, dark. They do taste different. White Meadows also sells other maple products. Our GPS couldn't find it until we entered Pelham (not St. Catherine's) as the city. We visited the store in October. Tours and meals are available in the Spring.

For maple aficionados, the store is a delight. Ask to sample the many varieties of maple syrup available. My favorite is amber, a... More

“Delicious!!!”

Stopped here at 4:30 on a Saturday afternoon. They close at 5pm so all we could do was shop in the store. The saleswoman was very helpful and did not rush us. Let us try the three types of syrup, as well as the bar-b-que sauce. Answered all of our questions. Best price hands down for REAL maple syrup anywhere... More

“White Meadows ... could put your outing into the red...”

Reviewed 19 June 2012

The overall concept of White Meadows is excellent ... with the history of maple syrup, products, pancakes and other foods, and wagon trip into the sugar bush makes for a lovely outing ... however, the cost is what I would consider gouging and definitley out to make a profit. This is the only fact that took away the joy of... More
