Reasons to Love Red Fife
Check out this Blog that has a great description of Red Fife...including a history, why Slow Food recognizes and lauds it, and a comparison of baking with Red Fife vs conventional whole wheat.
Here at Sugar Moon we LOVE Red Fife and believe that it makes THE best pancakes ever...especially when you use fresh buttermilk, make them lovingly to order and serve them with the best maple syrup around.
And now...we sell it in Retail Size bags - $10 for a 2.27 kg bag.

Want some Maple Info?
The sap runs in the spring. Sugar makers have only a 4 to 6 week window of opportunity in March and April to gather sap from maple trees and turn it into the golden elixir of maple syrup. Check out our Sap Journal 2010...and our Sap Journal 2011...
Read our "FAQ" page...or "Frequently Asked Questions" about visiting us during the Maple Season.
It takes 40 litres of sap to product one litre of maple syrup. Sugar on Snow – a special sugar camp treat – is one of the best ways to enjoy maple and is offered at Sugar Moon Farm every weekend in March and April between 10 and 4...and Easter Weekend Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon. Want more information about maple syrup? Check out the Nova Scotia Maple Producers' website.
