## Overview

For the last 26 years we have lived here on our 6 acres of property where our Maple Sugar Bush allows us to produce our very own maple syrup every spring.

 [Side note: The sugar shack itself has been on the property for over 40 years.]

We also raise a small but varied collection of farm animals, grow vegetables, and operate a small Market Booth that sells handmade "Canadian Themed" Home Decor goods and Maple Products at the Frontenac Farmer's Market.

Our Farm is located on the very edge of the Canadian Shield, so most of the landscape is a rocky, rugged, and naturally wooded. Throughout the property are numerous short, looping, walking trails that meander throughout the Sugar bush, pasture area, 3 season pond, and our farm animal "homes". These trails are perfect for short nature walks, where you'll experience natural wildflowers and plants, see and hear song birds, small animal wildlife and of course, farm life too.

We are also located on the edge of the Eastern Ontario "Dark Sky" Area, which means we have a very nice view from the edge of our pasture of the North Sky stars on a clear night, with very minimal light pollution.

Our varied collection of farm animals includes; lots of chickens, (including roosters who DO crow in the early morning hours), miniature goats, horses, a couple of barn cats, and a dog.

During your stay with us you are welcome to come learn about and interact with our animals and daily farm life, if you so desire, and farm fresh eggs, maple syrup, local honey, and homemade baked goods, are also available to purchase too. (check out our "Extras" Section at booking page.

> Lisa's farm is a peaceful retreat for the noise of life. Be prepared to hike a little but it's worth the walk. The Stargazer cabin is beautifully setup. Cozy and well stocked. And her bread is amazing!

> Loved the site ( clean with hot shower and outhouse) and surrounding area ( great small town with lots of hiking nearby) . The animals were great. Lisa and her mom were sweet and quickly answered.

> If you're looking to get off the grid go and relax at Lisa's Stargazer cabin. It was so relaxing. The opportunity to see the stars so bright is exciting. Her horse Tango which is next to the cabin is a joy to watch. We didn't interact with the goats or chickens but we walked right by them on they way to our spot. If we're back in the area I know I'll try to book this spot again.

> We had such a lovely experience. Friendly unusual one night away in the bunker. The bed was oh so comfy and we had everything we needed to cater for what we needed. Loved the nature sounds all around us and of course the stars.

> We greatly enjoyed our stay at Black Maple Farm. We were on a cycling trip and chose this campsite based on its proximity to the K&P Trail and the Cataraqui Trail. The farm had all the amenities we needed, including an option for a pre-setup tent, and the farm animals were a huge bonus. All of this made for a relaxed stay and the host Lisa was very friendly and attentive our needs. Hope to go back again soon! 😊 P.S. while there we purchased farm fresh eggs, bread, maple syrup, and maple butter 😋
