We had the opportunity to visit the maple syrup farm of some family friends in Charlevoix. Thankfully, our timing turned out perfectly, as there had been an unexpected warm day earlier in the week to cause the sap to run. They were making syrup on the Saturday we visited. If you'd like to purchase some delicious syrup, check out www.curreyfarms.com and order some! Maybe you'll even get a batch that we got to watch the process on. :)

Who wouldn't want to live with a view like this??

THANK YOU to Art and Jan Currey for allowing us to visit your maple syrup farm and providing us with a great day!
