Celebrate Spring in Wayne County

Maybury Farm Maple Syrup tours

Maybury Farm in Northville gives you a chance to see the maple syrup process up close, taking a wagon to the forested area of the farm and into the sugar bush where you’ll see how maple trees produce sap flows, how to tap and collect the sap. Then, you’ll see the sap become maple syrup.

Once the tour is done, you can buy some of the delicious Michigan maple syrup and do some shopping.

The tours leave every half hour from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday from March 11 through April 2.
