Linlor Farm and Forest

We are a 5th generation Maple Syrup producing family making pure maple products on our 300 acre property, on the North Shore of Rice Lake in Peterborough County. We currently have about 1000 taps, with many more available trees in the sugar bush to expand our business in the future. Most of our sap is collected using gravity fed pipelines, with only a small portion still being collected using buckets. We boil our sap using the wood cut from the farm on a stainless steel, wood fired evaporator. Our sales of maple syrup, sugar and butter consist of our loyal customer base at the farm gate and at a few local events within the community of Asphodel Norwood. Custom sawmilling is also available on the farm. 

Products: Maple syrup, butter and sugar (leaf/other moulds and granulated). Maple product-filled gift baskets by request/preorder only. Forest products of live edge boards, interesting wood burls, etc., when available. Forest/log grown shitake mushrooms - but very limited availability of these.
