Explore the Farm
Come take a look around the farm. This section will be updated often as we move through the seasons and through the different projects underway here at the Farm. Stop back when you have a moment and enjoy a little time in the country. And if there's something you're really interested in, let us know and we'll see if we can't bring it to life in this section of the Springboro Tree Farms website.
And when you have a moment, visit our Gallery. You'll find a link to the main gallery in th
e footer for each and every website page. You'll see we've also provide a bit of a mini-gallery in each of the main sections of the website - Sugaring, Beekeeping, Orchard Mgmt and Forestry. If you want more information (or a good story) about any of the pictures drop us a note.
And as always, if there's something you're interested in and would like to see a picture of it - again, drop us a note and we'll see what we can do.
Enjoy the sweet life...

Jim and his beeswax boot balm

Building the Bridge
Spring Creek runs through Springboro Tree Farms and it's really beautiful as you can see in the picture here...
...but wading to cross the creek gets old after a while.
So - let's build a bridge...
...or two...or three.
A history of sugaring
We use a lot of interesting technology in our sugaring work today...
...but before all that was developed. How did those who came before us even come up with the crazy idea of turning tree sap into something as sweet and delicious as maple syrup.
Let's explore a bit of myth and legend...along with some interesting history and look back into the history of sugaring.
