Did you know that the City of Moncton ran its own sugar bush for more than 20 years? It was the first Canadian municipality to do so, as part of a forest management program. In 2024, the camp reopened under the brand Fundy Maple, operated by the Fundy Biosphere. A great spot to head for an educational tour!
🍁Fundy Maple‘s 2025 season begins March 1, with openings Friday and Saturday, 10am-3pm. They offer free tours at 11am and 1pm. (You can also email to book a private tour.) Find them at 6 Dewey Road, Turtle Creek.
Riverview’s annual Maple Fest takes place April 4-6, 2025! Celebrate our local & national maple harvest tradition with a “weekend of maple-infused menus & promotions all over town.”
🍁Château Scoudouc is about a 15 minute drive from Downtown Moncton & has the cutest little shop filled with dozens and dozens of maple products! Their season is March 1 – April 27, 2025 – with brunches 9am-1pm on Saturdays & Sundays. Guided tours are offered in French at 1:30pm & in English at 3pm. Stop in for taffy on the snow, maple coffee or cappuccino, or to walk their trails. Group tours available; reach out in advance if you’re interested in booking.
- 🍁And for those 19+ who like a little indulgence, I highlight suggest checking out Maple Fest at Magnetic Hill Winery! You can enjoy a free sample of their amazing maple swish wine – straight from the barrel! They also have two fantastic maple cocktails and a special maple dessert board that is perfect to share!
