    White Meadows Farms - Wooden keepsake

    Even if Aunt Jemima hadn't been cancelled a few years ago, I'd probably be officially switching to…read morereal maple syrup after this excursion. One of my cousins has a bit of an obsession with natural sweeteners and scheduled a trip to White Meadows for us last weekend. It was a bit of a drive from our Finger Lakes Airbnb that involved a literal border crossing, but honestly was worth the trek. I wasn't sure what to expect beyond a deluge of maple leaf signs/flags, but I definitely left with an appreciation of the insane amount of work required to make this without using mass-produced corn syrup. We'd scheduled a tour, subsequent syrup tasting and charcuterie board for a 1:30pm start time. Not knowing what drama we might encounter at the border (there was absolutely none - deliciously uneventful; this isn't the border anyone gets particularly riled up about), we got here super early and had ample time to look around the gift shop. I barely considered the implications of the tariffs and didn't bother buying any maple syrup - understandably when I went to the farm's website later, it indicated they're not shipping to the US right now. That decision will haunt me for weeks and maybe months to come. Our guide was Nathan, who was an absolute superstar. I can't recommend this guy highly enough. He was engaging and knew how to talk about the science and concepts behind maple syrup and its cultivation on the farm in a way that was easily digestible but also very in-depth and informative. We were in a pretty inquisitive group, and he fielded a myriad of questions ably; I also liked that once or twice, he didn't know the answer and just said that - sadly a rarity in this day and age. But that didn't happen very often; Nathan knows maple syrup. The tour consists of a 10 to 15-minute discussion in one of the prep rooms near the gift shop (where most of the equipment and technical terminology is broken down), followed by a 10-minute tractor ride to the woods on the other side of the property to the tree-tapping area where the majority of the tour takes place, followed by a ride back to the starting point and a five-minute tasting of the four syrups made on the farm. One piece of constructive feedback - there were several young children there who were honestly a bit of a distraction. This is probably school age kid friendly but there were some very antsy toddlers (and even an infant) who just weren't old enough for this. I'd put a disclaimer up on the website that this isn't really appropriate for pups that young so the parents know ahead of time not to bother booking it. It is really wild seeing how much goes into creating maple syrup on a mom-and-pop farm like this. The intricate weaving of the taps/tubes throughout the forest leading to a storage tank out of site, and seeing how aggressive you have to be to take advantage of the very narrow window that sap can be harvested? Had no idea. If nothing else, you'll definitely come away from this being blown away by the syrup trade and the immense work required. You just never think about this stuff when you're at the diner pouring (not real) syrup onto your pancakes. The tasting and charcuterie were really good too - if you're already here, I'd spring for the charcuterie so you can sample the syrups and assorted meats/cheeses on a grander scale than just the tasting. The only annoying part were the yellowjackets constantly trying to get in on the fun (which I found out in Canada are more commonly referred to as wasps). I honestly have no idea how they can fix or alleviate that issue since by definition you're putting sweet/sugary stuff out on picnic tables, but might be worth troubleshooting down the line. Absolutely would recommend if you happen to be in the general Upstate NY area and have your passport handy. But make sure you actually buy the syrup there - I have no idea when I'm going to get a chance to sup on the Golden grade of syrup again.

    Had such a great experience here! We got the full charcuterie experience and we it was so good. The…read morestaff was sooooo friendly and such a cute little farm. Would highly suggest

    I discovered Freshco a few years ago. I like being able to find pretty much the same stuff that…read moreSobey's stocks, but frequently at about a dollar less per item. (Which ends up making a huge difference when you fill your shopping cart.) Even though Sobey's is within (ambitious) walking distance, it's more than worth it to pay for the gas to get to Freshco. Not being from Welland, I wandered around semi-lost for a while before I finally found this particular Freshco. I knew it was there from online maps, but I don't have a GPS, so it took me a while. From the outside, it's not very impressive. The rest of the mini-mall it's in was kind of sad when I first found it. (It's slowly filling in and looking better.) But inside, it's Freshco like I know and love it: lots of selection, usually decent prices, clean, and with helpful (if not particularly outgoing) staff. I wish they'd convert the Sobey's in Fort Erie to a Freshco, but until they do, I have no objection to spending my money in Welland.

    I am a customer of freshco I walked in with a mask and distancing. I was In a line with distancing…read morewaiting to enter the store. I was greeted by an employee cleaning carts and counting I happily followed the arrows kept distance Employees work hard and are friendly and help. When I had a question I found I was given an answer and where to find my item. I found the isles clear and concise plenty of room to move. The checking out there was distancing however congestion and the lines ups can be long. The clerk's were friendly and professional. I always find the owner friendly and professional just as.they should be. I find that this location has improved I do find alot of carts outside however it's expected Durning the busy times..people.need to be kind in this mess. Thank you freshco .staff owners ..
