Today, Elliott Tree Farm specializes in growing Christmas trees and producing maple syrup and opens their doors for you to enjoy every Christmas and maple season.

The Maple Syrup Museum of Ontario is part of these authentic seasonal experiences and the artifacts have been carefully curated with easy-to-read story plaques to provide a fun and educational cultural experience.

When visiting the museum, you will learn why maple syrup production holds a cultural and historical significance of tradition and food value for the Indigenous people of Ontario and how maple syrup connected their communities to the land, reflecting a harmonious relationship with nature.

From those times of discovery, you will learn how early European settlers to the province adopted and adapted the indigenous maple syrup techniques making maple syrup a staple of early Canadian diets, providing a sweet source of sustenance during harsh winters.

Elliott Tree Farm acknowledges the land on which we welcome you to. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land to the indigenous who discovered how to make maple sugar and sustain themselves within nature. The Elliott family arrived at the farm in the Summer of 1984 and recognize their stewardship to care for the land and its people through sustainable farming and community.
