Brunch is amazing and worth the drive from Ontario! It is a bit pricey but for the quality of the food well worth it. Best pancakes I have had in the maritimes! And maybe Canada! Also brought my dog, and they have picnic benches outside for us to eat.

It really is quite good. Service is incredible. Everyone is knowledgeable, friendly and quick. Reservations are recommended for sure. A really important part of breakfast/brunch is the coffee and Sugar Moon has delicious coffee. One thing I will mention is it is pretty expensive considering what you get. But the over all experience is fun if you’ve never been. I don’t think it’s someplace folks will visit more than a couple of times.

Super great! My wife and I have been to a number of sugar shacks in Quebec and were very happy to discover Sugar Moon in Nova Scotia. The experience was not as all encompassing as the Quebec sugar shacks but considering the change the last 6 years have thrust upon us I will say that we will be returning. Wonderfully meal. We had the regular menu and the specialty menue and shared both to our delight. We also tried some of their boozie options and will try to recreate then at home.

Had an amazing breakfast after our hike. The trail starts and ends directly at the sugar moon farm.

Maple syrup and a hike? Best combination! We did the Rogart Mountain Trail and stopped for some maple syrup. The hike trail shares a parking lot with the Sugar Moon farm.

We booked a Full tour for my daughter's birthday. The staff were amazing and very friendly. The tour was full of knowledge and went well above expectations. The sugar on snow was nostalgic and traditional. This is a well hidden gem that is well worth booking as much as you can in advance. The food choices are preference friendly with many great options.

After a series of strikeouts with Google recommendations due to the season, as I wound down a gravel road, I worried I was headed for another one. The full parking lot was my first surprise. The place was bustling. As a single traveler with no reservations, I got my second surprise. "Sure, I can put you over here. Do you mind sharing a table if I need the space?" It felt totally welcoming. The Red Fife emphasis felt odd to a prairie boy who did food science. But those buttermilk pancakes had an undeniable flavor from the standard. Then add the small wild blueberries, and wow. And I haven't mentioned the heap of lovely bacon done to perfection. When the owner heard my cough, a small glass of "tonic" appeared at my table. Maple infused with a touch of cayenne, it absolutely soothed my throat. The rustic atmosphere and friendly staff made it an unforgettable experience.

Charming cabin restaurant tucked in the woods in Nova Scotia, about an hour outside Halifax, that specializes in all things maple. It makes for a nice pitstop if you are driving to/from New Brunswick. They make their own maple syrup and specialize in all things maple. If you don't like pancakes, this probably isn't the place for you. Everything on the menu is made with maple. If you have the time, there is a nice mountain trail just out the front door that apparently a lot of folks hike before eating. We couldn't fit it in but I bet it would have made the experience even better. My pancakes with maple roasted pecans were good, not mind blowing, but good. My coffee with maple whipped cream was good but I typically take it black and wasn't a fan of all the sweetness. They do feature some non-pancake items like maple baked Mac n' cheese that was apparently recently on the Food Network. Also, some kind of French toast. But we all went for the pancakes. Service on our visit was not super fast but everyone was very nice and the place was very busy. They have a store with syrup, their own maple porter, and other wares. Overall we enjoyed our visit to this picturesque spot.

Breakfast was good with delicious biscuits and pancakes. The collection of maple products on the table are many, such as maple syrup, maple butter, maple pepper and maple drinks. The add-on of blueberry compote could be a bigger scoop and I would happily pay another dollar to get more. If you go hiking on the trails in the area the breakfast is welcome stop before or after. You can buy syrup straight from the farm (or next door) here. The tour is fun for kids and might be more interesting if you go during the spring season.

We did the Maple Magic Experience, which is a set menu breakfast, a hot drink, and an educational tour on how maple syrup is made. Everything was fantastic and I'd recommend this to anyone visiting the area as a tourist!

Obviously one of the best times to visit Sugar Moon, an hour or so outside of Halifax, is when the sap runs. It depends on the weather, but typically falls anytime between March and April, depending on the temperature. You get to watch the sap collection and see how that's turned into the most glorious elixir on earth - maple syrup. And what would a trip out be without some maple syrup poured onto snow and magically turned into sticky candy. What would be better? Well, perhaps their awesome brunch - pancakes with maple syrup, maple brown baked beans, maple in your coffee, maple granola, salads with maple vinaigrette. But there's more...one special thing I love about Sugar Farm is that they support local agriculture and community. And no matter what time of year you go there's always something wonderful going on. Like the awesome Chef nights where Nova Scotian chefs like Craig Flinn from Chives in Halifax and Michael Howell from The Tempest in Wolfville all take turns whipping up awesome dinners using local ingredients and showcasing local farmers, livestock producers and artisan cheese makers, to name a few. And before you leave, don't forget to pick up some of your own maple favorite treats...maple syrup, of course, but what about some maple mustard, maple cream, maple candy, maple...you get the idea.

If you're looking a short getaway from the city just for the day without putting up a night and you are pretty sick with going to Peggy's Cove, you should give Sugar Moon farm a try. For me and my wife, we waited till near the end of winter and before the start of spring - just about the right time where the maple sap is being drawn from the trees. Sugar moon far is an ideal place for the family to enjoy a warm breakfast during the cold winter in a rustic like wooden cabin. With giant sized pancakes and 3 varieties of sausages, you'd probably would want to keep your stomach half empty on the way there. However, its a bit pricey for my liking but since I only go there once in a blue moon, I guess its ok. But most importantly, do not miss the sugar maple on snow and a walk through to the maple tree (following the sap line)

This is a once or twice a year visit for me. The only real way to enjoy the food is to hike the adjacent Rogart Mountain trail or the Gully Lake Wilderness just 5km across the main road. Nothing like an empty tummy getting some hot food drenched in maple syrup ;) The breakfast/brunch menu is pretty good, but I always opt for the Sugar Moon Special with the special sausage (I say special because I forget the name of it). I've been in when the place was packed and when it was emptying out. Never had a problem with service. They all knew when to re-fill my coffee cup. Being an all you can eat pancake place, I rarely go beyond a second helping. Note that the diameter is quite smaller. There are a few downsides - washrooms are a pain to get in (only 2) and no cell reception. So don't even think about instagramming your food while on site. I haven't done the tour or took part in anything else they offered. I'm just there to eat pancakes. Price - It ain't cheap. Expect to pay ~40$ for 2 people. Still it's always on my list of places to visit when it starts to get cold.

I really enjoyed having a yummy breakfast at Sugar Moon Farm. It was worth the drive out from Halifax. Delicious baked beans, sausage and pancakes in a very casual atmosphere.

A visit to Sugar Moon farm, about 90 minutes from Halifax, is a relaxing, country getaway adventure. Sugar Moon is a family run business, making maple syrup and serving delicious meals in the rustic, log cabin style restaurant. I've been trying to visit Sugar Moon Farm for the past four years and managed to make it out there last Friday. I don't know why I didn't try harder to get there before now. Sap season which is only four to six weeks was over when we finally managed to get there, but that didn't hinder our enjoyment. I visited with my family and my parents and our first focus was food. The restaurant is a large open room with large tables that will seat groups of eight or ten on two benches. You can see the pancake grill and the wait staff grabbing your meals. The adults had the Sampler plate which included the signature red fife biscuits with maple butter (I could eat a jar of that for lunch and be happy), red fife pancakes, locally made sausages, and baked beans. The kids had pancakes and sausages. The best part as the freeflowing maple syrup. The restaurant does not take reservations. Even though it was a long weekend when we visited, the wait for a table was only fifteen minutes. I have a friend who goes every year and has experienced waits of an hour and a half to be seated. The best advice is on the farm's web site which advises that you check in with the hostess upon your arrival to make sure your name is on the list. Once you know how long the wait is, you can entertain yourself with all the other fun things there are to do. You can stock up on all things maple to take home--syrup, butter, and those cute maple leaf sugary candies--all made on the farm. And a couple of times of years, local chefs (that guy from Chives for example) organize chef's night dinners which sound amazing. After we had filled our bellies, we went out to sample the taffy on the snow for $2 a stick, had a tour of the maple syrup centre which explains the history of maple syrup making in Atlantic Canada and a tour of the evaporator used to make syrup, and then tramped around the field on the way to the sugar bush where the sap is actually collected. The farm is open all year round and depending on the season, you can go for a horse and sleigh ride or a hike on the local hiking system. We had a seven year old and a four year old with us so we choose to skip the 6k hike. So no matter what the season, feel free to pop in and enjoy delicious local food and all things maple in the great outdoors. A quick word of advice, this is the country. And the country can be muddy in the spring. It's wise to wear your winter boots or Bogs if you plan to be tramping around up to sugarbush. I saw a lot of people wearing bright white sneakers gazing longingly at the trail.

It's hard to get more Canadian than this. Sugar Moon Farm is all things maple. It's down a woods road, a wooden log cabin. They make their own maple syrup there, do horse rides, and host events. And they have a phenomenal restaurant. Maple baked beans, maple butter served with bread, granulated maple-and-pepper shakers on the long wooden tables, pancakes with syrup, German sausages with maple mustard. They even have maple cocktails. It's a bit touristy, but it's the kind of thing you can't do everywhere. Stop in, fill up, and devour all the maple products you can. You can buy lots of it retail to take away, too. Full disclosure: my family's farm sell these guys their maple butter. And it's AWESOME.

Expensive, rushed, dried out sausages, stingy on coffee refills, meh beans, meh pancakes, poor service and short/simplistic tour . Overall, we had a bad experience and regretted driving all the way from Halifax. Will try a smaller operation next time.

I visited Sugar Moon Farm for the first time this March. A group of us travelled from Halifax for a maple syrup inspired brunch. The drive is long but scenic during early spring. Check the weather before you head out as the farm is off the beaten path and the roads are not as maintained at the main arteries. If you visit in winter or when there is snow down make sure you have winter tires. The parking lot is not plowed and the road leading to the farm is not paved. Although they do a good job plowing, sudden winter weather could make the trip treacherous if you're not prepared. Since my first visit I went back a second time and we plan to make Sugar Moon Farm a yearly tradition. In both my visits, one in March and the other in April, the farm was packed with people. It 's a popular mini road trip on the weekends so be prepared for extensive wait times. When you arrive they suggest you sign up for the tour and learn how maple syrup is made. By the time you finish you tour there is usually room in the restaurant to sit down and eat. There isn't a waiting area inside and the staff ask all those waiting for a table to wait outside. So dress warmly or spend some time working up a sweat by exploring the farm yourself. While waiting for our table we walked for over an hour on the maple syrup trail into the back woods. It was beautiful and fun. The wait times for tables can be quite extreme at peak times. The first time I went we waited over two hours to be seated. If they call you name on the waiting list and you're not there, they skip you entirely. This is pretty much the only downside of Sugar Moon. Hopefully next season they'll have a better system to seat people. I haven't visited during the week so the wait times may be much better then. Once seated, the food arrived quickly and was delicious. They use a special blend of Speerville red fife flour from New Brunswick. All of the ingredients used on the menu are sourced locally and most are available for purchase so that you can recreate your own Sugar Moon experience at home. They even have the pancake recipe, no secrets there! We bought the maple butter and it's been a delicious addition to breakfast. Although the menu has quite a few breakfast items I'd suggest sticking to the main offering of pancakes with maple syrup. The sausages were also delicious. When you're served they allow you to sample some of the maple products they offer. I had a taste of their jams and maple butter. I found much of what we for sale to be quite overpriced. Probably because of the large amount of tourists who visit. The pancakes are all you can eat but the maple butter isn't. Once you're out you have to purchase more to spread on those delicious biscuits and pancakes. So savour the butter! I'd been wanting to visit for years and I'm glad I finally had the chance. I really love both the farm and the restaurant. I can't wait until next Spring to visit again!

I recently went to Sugar Moon and I am very shocked and disappointed with my experience. I was really looking forward to this outing but when I was ambushed by the lady at the front desk for having a McDonald's coffee cup she would not let me throw it in the garbage and was accusing me of supporting corporate America. I was shocked at how rude I was treated and planned on having lunch and spending money on products but would not spend a cent on a business that was so rude and forceful with their opinions of where I should buy coffee and how poorly I was treated. I have never experienced this from a small local business and I will not ever plan on going back and will not suggest this outing to anyone I know. I would have left right away but I just drove an hour and a half.
