"Cute little shop with locally made products and syrups. They have items set out for taste testing and several employees there to answer questions. We bought some breakfast syrup and blueberry syrup and can’t wait to make pancakes!"

"A little girl dropped her ice cream and the staff were so sweet and helpful. Totally unexpected and don't expect this to happen all the time but what compassionate people.
Birch is basically a healthier maple?
Shop is really cozy and it's an amazing small stop. Quite a few mosquitos in the garden but this place is really really well maintained!"
Darly T
"Super cute stop if you're in the area! I honestly didn't even know birch syrup was a thing but it was super tasty- like a less sweet maple syrup with a bit of a coffee taste to it. We tried the birch brittle, caramel, and berry ice creams and they were all delicious. We also bought a bag of the birch syrup caramel and it was a hit with everyone we had try it."
