Gardens & Activities in Western Massachusetts

South Face Farm & Maple Syrup
Come visit us during maple sugaring season in March and early April. Our sugarhouse is always open for visitors, and on weekends our sugarhouse restaurant serves homemade pancakes, waffles, corn fritters, and many other special maple goodies. Try a stack of French Toast made with fresh homemade bread, topped with justmade maple syrup. Because maple sap flow depends on just the right weather conditions, you may want to call ahead and see if we are boiling when you plan to visit.

All of our farm-fresh pure maple products are available here at our farm, and via mail order .

Carol Duke Flowers
Flower Hill Farm is an enchanting hillside paradise located in Western Massachusetts. The owner, plantswoman Carol Duke, has spent more than 18 years cultivating gardens that abound with flowering plants, shrubs and trees. Throughout the growing season Carol harvests iris, peonies, lilies, flowering crabapple, lilac and more while the evening mist or morning dew still clings to the petals. She uses these stems, branches and their blossoms for lines, forms and textures in imaginative bouquets arranged in a spontaneous, relaxed manner. In her arrangements, Carol supplements the flora of Flower Hill with only the freshest, loveliest flowers available from other local growers and flower markets.
