The author, Susanna Moodie, accounts her first seven years in Canada starting in 1832. She includes a story about her "first Canadian loaf." She writes: <br />
<br />
<em>It not only required experience to know when it (the dough) was in a fit state for baking, but the oven should have been brought to a proper temperature to receive the bread. Ignorant of all this, I put my unrisen loaf into a cold kettle, and heaped a large quantity of hot ashes above and below it. The first intimation I had of the result of my experiment was the disagreeable odour of burning bread filling the house. </em><br />

Susanna Moodie would have benefitted greatly if she had lived near some of Westfield's volunteers to give her proper instruction on baking bread. On Sunday, October 2 from 12:30 to 4:00 p.m. visitors can learn the way to bake a loaf of bread in a bake oven, a kettle or wood burning stove. Come taste and smell a little history. Admission for an adult is $9.50, a child 6-12 years is $5.50 and a child 5 and under is free. Visitors can also use their Nature's Reward Pass.

With close to 30 historical buildings to visit, multiple maple syrup demonstrations, horse drawn wagon rides and an all day pancake breakfast visitors will want to have plenty of time to enjoy the sights, sounds and taste of the Maple Syrup season.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Westfield has had a Maple Syrup Festival since 1994. Since
that time over 150 000 visitors have learned about turning sap to syrup. This
year the sap has started to run a bit early as can be seen from these
pictures taken on February 25. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><o:p></o:p></span> </div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">This year’s Festival will start Sunday March 6 and will
operate each Sunday in March as well as on Wednesday, March 16, Thursday, March
17 and Good Friday, March 25 from 10:00 to 4:00 p.m. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">A big part of the Festival is to eat pancakes with real
Maple Syrup in the Ironwood Hall. The St. George Lions Club has served up thousands
of pancakes over the last 10+ years and this year will be no different. A
generous sized pancake only costs a $1.00. You can add sausage for a dollar, a
slice of ham for a dollar, a drink for a dollar- well you get the picture. Pancakes
are available from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and it’s okay if you only want to
come for breakfast. The Ironwood is located outside the historic area. Some of
our visitors take full advantage and come back week after week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The admission charge to the Festival is $11.00 for an adult,
a senior 65 and older is $10.00, a child 6-12 years is $6.50 and a child 5 and
under is free. (While tickets are available online you can also buy them at the door.) This charge allows you to visit the modern sugar shack, visit
two historic maple syrup demonstration sites, visit about 30 historical buildings
and have a horse drawn wagon ride. The parking is free. If you have a Nature's Reward Pass you can use that as well. It allows you to bring in up to 6 people including 4 adults for free. The pass is a great way to spend Sunday afternoons at Westfield throughout the season or to visit one of the Hamilton Conservation Authority's other popular sites. Throughout the Festival visitors will have the chance to find out about the Authority's many programs and purchase a pass that is valid for a full year from the date of purchase. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">As visitors leave the site most stop at the Maple Syrup Gift Shop to purchase a maple treat. The shop is well stocked with a variety of Maple Syrup products including, syrup, sugar, fudge and tea. Below you will find a recipe from the <em>Sweet Maple </em>book by James M. Lawrence and Rux Martin. Something to try with the Maple Syrup purchase you make at Westfield. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">1 1/2 cups butter, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">1 3/4 cups maple syrup</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">1 cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">2 large eggs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">2 teaspoon vanilla extract (you might want to try Maple extract to add a stronger Maple flavour)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">6 cups old-fashioned rolled oats</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">2 cups flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">2 teaspoons baking soda</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">1 teaspoon salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9 x 13 inch baking sheets. In a large bowl, beat together butter, maple syrup, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Stir in oats. In another bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and slat. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and mix well. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets and bake for 12-15 minutes. </span><br />

Maple Syrup weather is already in the air and we are getting ready for a new season. This includes a beautiful new sign at Westfield's entrance. Visitors to the site will know they have arrived when they see this new sign from Kirkwall Road. Westfield will be open for Maple Syrup Festival on Sundays, March 6, 13, 20, and 27 from 10:00 to 4:00 p.m. We will also be open during March Break on Wednesday, March 16 and Thursday, March 17 as well as Good Friday, March 25, from 10:00 to 4:00 p.m. See you soon!Westfieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09790817409088826916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457090306619165616.post-11786881036822090992016-01-28T16:06:00.000-05:002016-01-28T16:06:59.023-05:00Westfield Is A Busy Place<br />
Westfield will re-open to the public for our Maple Syrup Event taking place in March, but until then Westfield is still a hive of activity. This past Tuesday the television series <em>Dark Matter</em> used the site to film parts of their second season. <br />
Westfield volunteers are also keeping busy with various behind the scene projects including painting, sewing and wood working projects. <br />

While the weather was not very "Christmas like" - there were almost 800 people who enjoyed the afternoon that included horse drawn wagon rides, musical entertainment from Turkey Rhubarb and yummy popcorn. Thanks to the Rocca Sisters who sponsored the day and made it possible for visitors to enjoy a free afternoon.
