Memories of Agape Valley 

Sugar Bush

We had a great morning at Agape Valley Sugar Bush. We began our adventure in the dining area where we enjoyed eating freshly made pancakes, pure maple syrup and juice. Our hostess read the book, IF YOU GIVE A PIG A PANCAKE which we all enjoyed very much. Next, we boarded a hay wagon and enjoyed a ride up to the Sugar Bush. We learned that it takes 40 buckets of maple sap to make one bucket of delicious tasting syrup. No wonder it is SO expensive! Our guide taught us that sap is collected in a very different way than it was many years ago. Lots of very sophisticated tubes route the sap from the trees back to the Sugar Shack where it is processed, bottled and packed for shipment. 

Thank you to all of the parents who were so kind as to volunteer their time and energy to join us on our trip. Everyone enjoyed themselves and learned many new things about the maple syrup making process.
