The Sugar Shack houses a complete maple syrup operation that uses a modern method of line hook-ups with the trees in the sugar bush. A wood-fuelled old fashioned type evaporator provides a tradional hands-on experience of maple syrup production.

This small solar greenhouse is used to start spring seedling for our on-site cooperative organic teaching garden.
