Maple Syrup from the Yoder Farm

A Highlight in Our Annual Cycle of Farm Life is Maple Sugaring.		For five generations members of the Yoder family have made maple syrup in the family sugar bush located in northern Allen County, Indiana near the Cedar Creek valley. We partner with the Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center of Goshen College to provide a day-long participatory experience in maple sugaring for elementary students in the Fort Wayne area. Sugar Bush 2011 hosted about 1100 students from February 16 through March 30, 2011 and Sugar Bush 2012 is set to open February 16, 2012. Contact the Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center of Goshen College to schedule your group for a sugaring program. The school schedule is nearly filled, but there are some days still available for small after-school groups. Members of the ACRES Land Trust will hold their annual tour and pancake lunch at the Sugar Bush on Saturday, March 10, 2012. We are also pleased to sponsor ACRES Nature Trust on public radio WBOI during the sugaring season. We are active members of the Indiana Maple Syrup Association.
