About Us

Our focus is on the production and selling of maple syrup and related products!

John spends time year round researching and learning new ways of upgrading systems that ensure the production of quality maple syrup. Remaining efficient and current with the maple industry is key while also keeping to traditional values and protection of the forest and land is integral to our business. Keeping the equipment ready, wood cut and dried and the pipeline in working order can be daunting! Through the years we have had storms, bear activity and lots of squirrel damage in our bush so he has repairs to do almost every year before things go run smoothly during production time.

Norma spends her time on the bottling, labeling and quality control of the maple syrup and maple products and on the sales and marketing side of the business.

Golden Moment Farm

A Brief History

We established Golden Moment Farm in 1997. Before we purchased the property we researched the land and property to determine how we could make a living from the property. The results of this research determined that the best sustainable business opportunity would be to establish a maple syrup business. That became our goal. In 1998 (yep the year of the ice storm) we were ready to launch our 1st efforts... it was an extremely difficult year as most of our trees received 65% crown damage in the ice storm and the future was 'ify' at best. But we persevered and moved forward year by year.

Golden Retrievers

At Golden Moment Farm, we are dedicated to sustainable farming practices that protect the environment. Our mission is to provide fresh, organic produce to the local community while promoting healthy lifestyles.

Maple Syrup

We have grown from 300 buckets and a homemade processing system to approximately 4000+ taps on pipeline and the latest in maple syrup processing equipment.

We produce maple syrup and multiple maple value added products.

Clyesdales

Our 3rd focus for the farm came after a couple of years... we decided that in doing business sustainably, and with tradition we purchased a team of Clydesdale mares... We felt that using horses to gather sap, and perhaps do farm tours of the property opened up another avenue for revenue. Through the years and with many lessons learned we determined that although it did bring in a bit of revenue our physical health with aging make it a unrealistic in reality. Now they are our BIG pets!
