Shepherd Sugar Bush

Shepherd Sugar Bush Every Feb. over 2000 buckets are hung on the trees of Shepherd to collect sap. Thousands of gallons of sap are boiled down to make delicious maple syrup

The Shepherd Sugar Bush was started in 1958 as a community effort to raise money for community summer programs for area kids.

Alright, folks, it's showtime! The syrup's flowing, candy's done, cream's whipped, and sugar's ready to make everything sweet! Now's the perfect chance to get your ride shiny and join the party in Shepherd! Come hungry for some mouth-watering sausage, pancakes, and a side of small-town hospitality. The Sugar Daddy and Candy Man are back for another year, and if you can figure out what they're up to, well, good luck with that - rumor has it they'll be Under The Sea

It's a bittersweet day, folks! We're finally pulling the plug on sap collecting . Town and woods are closing down, yikes! Huge thanks to all the amazing humans who lent a hand - we couldn't make maple magic happen without you, Yum! Now the real fun begins - clean up time! We might need your help collecting buckets and we'll be busy untapping woods and washing stuff. If you're free, swing by the festival, volunteer for a shift, and be awesome. Don't forget,Be excellent to each other
