It's usually from the middle of February through about the middle of March. This farm will still be giving tours on March 23rd and March 24. But I believe you can buy maple syrup products year round. It is about an hour drive from Brooklyn. The tour and service from Bri and Ben and his wife, is above 5 stars. When you see the work and process of all the work that goes into giving a premium product, you can understand the value of this amazing syrup. They have assorted sizes of maple syrup, honey, barbecue sauce, hot sauce and maple powder and other treats. Everything is reasonably priced and great quality! Great tour, great syrup and great people!

They had plenty of pollinators that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bumble bees, etc. Plants and plugs were $4 - $5 each. We purchased a tray of about 40 + They also have fresh farm produce, honey, jam for sale.

It's such a lovely setting and the perfect place to relax and enjoy a drink. I met a friend there and we started outside with a lovely cocktail before moving inside for dinner. The meal was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was truly wonderful. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome throughout the evening. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and I'm definitely looking forward to coming back. That said, I would consider Kittle House more of a special-occasion restaurant, as it is on the pricier side.

You are literally the only people somewhere in the neighborhood of 530 to 6 o'clock on a weeknight. We elected to sit outside, which was lovely. They have some interesting cocktails, which has just the right amount of sweetness and just the right amount of strength. Something called to me from the cheese plate and that felt non negotiable. This thing was a beauty. There were a nice variety of cheeses and a fair amount of accompaniments including breads/carbs, nuts, the quintessential cheese plate honey, and a very patriotic combination of raspberries and blueberries which feels appropriate right before 4th of July. Very high praises for the cheese board. I am vegetarian and believe it or not, there was more than one thing for me to choose from. I went wild and ordered the "eggplant parm". It is very possible that I did not read the menu thoroughly but this wasn't a typical eggplant parm but rather a cylinder of mozzarella cheese, sauce, and presumably (and hopefully) eggplant. It was ok. I was so full from the cheese plate that I couldn't even eat half of it but brought it home. I had some of it the following day but ultimately it wasn't worth the calories. GF ordered one of the specials: salmon on vegetables. Plate was clean after so take from that what you will. Service was great. Loved the cocktails and the cheese plate, was a touch disappointed in the eggplant parm.

All info is taken from an Internet article, so it is quotes and I will give it credit (at the end). " The history of the school house is a complicated saga. After it was built in 1841 across from the Kirby farm, the Kirby family bought the land for $5 and demolished the building. A new building was constructed in 1852 on a plot across from what is now the junction of routes 117 and 128. In 1899, after the Kirbyville and Mount Kisco school districts were consolidated, the building was purchased by the town of New Castle; at the time, Mount Kisco was partly in New Castle and partly in Bedford. The building was moved to its current site on Moore Avenue in Mount Kisco in 1900, where it went on to serve many purposes: residents paid their taxes there, and it was used as a polling place, senior citizen center and food pantry."
