Seasons. Weather. Animals. Friendship. These are the kind of books that actually get pulled off the shelf again and again.

Tiny reader approved! 😃

Once a year, The Shop at Ford House carries something you cannot find anywhere else!

Pure maple syrup, tapped from trees on the Ford House estate and processed in small batches on site, goes on sale for one day only on Sunday, April 12, starting at 9:30 a.m. Bottles are 5 oz. and $20 each, with a limit of one per guest. No ticket required.

Worth noting: the Maple Syrup Sale sells out within the first hour, every year. Availability is first come, first served, and once it's gone, it's gone for the season.

Plan to arrive early.

Inside the house, guests can meet Santa, then head outside to the Drying Yard to shop for gifts and enjoy drinks and snacks at the Mistletoe Market.

Every paid ticket includes a complimentary cup of hot cocoa to keep you cozy. ☕❄️
Some time slots are already sold out, so advance tickets are strongly recommended.
