Went to Sugar Moon Farm with a group of friends. Really like the concept but didn't think much of the food. The pancakes were soggy, sausage tasteless and tough with the inside more the consistency of a wiener, the beans were quite tasty but not fully cooked. There could have been a much more interesting menu and it was not good value for the money. Definitely not the best pancakes in Canada!!!! $43. for 2 people.... for 1 coffee, 2 small pancakes, 1 sausage and a couple of spoons of beans, The pancakes were all you could eat but one was enough considering they were not great.
I've been in NS for 12 years and every time we have visitors, we bring them here. It's especially wonderful in the winter when you can sit near the fireplace and eat delicious food. We have never had a bad experience or a bad meal!
Sugar Moon Farm has a special place in my heart. I was friends with the individual who owned the farm previously and used to look after his horses and house when he would go away. I also know one of the present owners, and was delighted to hear she had bought it because I knew the business would be conducted in an ethical way, keeping in mind protection of the environment as well as providing quality product. I was there when the first section of the log restaurant/sugar shack was built - with logs pulled by horses from the woods on the property. The place has expanded since then, to include a beautiful fireplace which is so welcoming on a cool or rainy fall day. The meals are excellent, using healthy ingredients and with attention to using fair-traded and local ingredients. There are activities for every season, including hiking the mountain trail, and, of course, learning all about the process of making maple syrup. This is a very popular spot for groups to spend a day, including school tours, family reunions, etc. It is only a short distance to Ski Wentworth and to Northumberland beaches. The area is beautiful in the fall and there's nothing nicer than spending some time in front of that warm fireplace on a crisp fall days and enjoying delicious coffee and pancakes with real syrup. Highly recommended :)
Great novel place to visit.... a wee bit pricey for pancakes...but worth a visit by anymeans!
Last year we stopped in and got the tour and learned a lot about maple syrup. We bought the largest jug available and rationed for a year back in Tennessee. We love the light Spring variety in salad dressing. So this year we drove the round trip from Truro again and loaded up. Happy again! We have not tried their pancakes.
We have been there the second time. Once in fall and now in the summer. I'm sur we will be back when we are in Nova Scotia. Sugar Moon farm is a MUST! The pancakes, the syrup, friendly stuff, everything p e r f e ct !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .
Arrived about 2:00 on a Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. No wait for a table. Very pleasant ambiance with crackling fire in large fireplace . Pancakes with blueberries large and fluffy were excellent. Brat worst sausage is more flavourful than the bland breakfast sausage. Friendly helpful staff.Good tour of maple syrup making process.
This is a great spot, especially to take visitors from out of town. It's unique and the food (pancakes, beans and sausages etc.) is all about maple. Surprise! Very tasty. The price is higher than most but you get good quality food and an experience to boot. Recommended.
We went for the pancakes and maple syrup. The food was very good but a bit over-priced for the portions. The restaurant is nice, rustically decorated and very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. There is an opportunity to see the maple syrup being made if you are there at sap-time. Call ahead to find out when the right time to see this will be. It's worthwhile:)
We really like Sugarmoon Farms - great trails, good food, and delicious maple coffee. The prices are a little steep, and if they were more reasonable, we would go more often, but always enjoy it when we go.
