It was very nice, blue skies, everything crisp and bright, the first parking lot was filled up so we parked across the road. The breakfast was a buffet, consisting of pancakes, home fries with or without onions, sausage, scrambled eggs, coffee, and juice. The maple syrup was fresh and very good. The place was busy; not many seats, so we got the food first, then a place opened up by the time we were ready to eat.
After, we headed off to the carousel green to watch the syrup boiling down, and had "jack wax" which my family called "sugar on snow" it was very good and fun to see my husband try something that I had told him about but never had the opportunity to try. Next we headed off to the "Smithy" or Black Smith Shop, there they were making hooks for the hearth fire cooking, and were telling about making pistols, all which was very interesting. Stopped into Todd's General Store, where they sell the items made at the black smiths and many other "period" items. We wandered back to the barns were the oxen were hitched to a cart, to go and collect the sap from the many maple trees around the property, the turkeys were out (pestering the hen) and the sheep were in their pasture, some eating and some were taking their nap. We were looking for the building that had the open hearth cooking and could not find it, by then we were both chilled through and needed to use the facilities, so we headed out. It really was a great morning and very enjoyable. I do recommend going next year, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
