Over 170 years and five generations of history and experience goes into every bottle of Fulton’s Organic Maple Syrup! During the maple season (mid February to mid-April - see fultons.ca for annual dates), they are open every day between 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Its 400 acre backyard is over 8 km of wide, groomed trails for cross country skiing, snowshoeing and hiking. On the weekends, you can enjoy an old fashion horse-drawn sleigh ride, cozy campfires and maple taffy.
Although the restaurant has permanently closed, maple snacks and refreshments are available for purchase at the Grab 'N Go counter during the 10 week maple season. Don't miss the newly expanded Maple Shop & Tasting Bar with a wide variety of maple products including Breakfast Bundles for families of all sizes to make pancake meals at home.

Fortune Farms
During the season, they boil fresh sap nearly every day to make syrup. They also make maple candy and maple “butter.” On weekends, the Shanty Men operate a small wood-fired evaporator and the Kettle Boys tend their kettles over open fires just for visitors. You can experience the pioneer methods of making syrup and then taste the differences resulting from traditional to modern syrup making. After a walk in the sugar bush along an interpretive trail and then back to the sugar camp to enjoy fresh taffy on the snow. The Fortune family will do their best to make your visit to the sugar bush a tasty and educational experience.
You are invited to smell the steam, taste the fresh syrup and watch all the action!
