To reach the Worden farm from Traverse City, take US-31 one mile past the community of Honor to Marshall Road. At Marshall Road, turn left and go about one mile. Look for the maple syrup signs. Twenty miles south of Traverse City, the Olds Brothers Maple Syrup operation is running in high gear now. These producers put out about 2,000 gallons of syrup each year, using both a modern tubing system and the old-fashioned bucket method.
Visitors are always welcome to drop by for a look at the action.
To reach Olds Brothers farm from Traverse City, take Garfield Road to the community of Kingsley. At the blinker light in Kingsley, go across M-113 and travel for three blocks to Fenton Street. Fenton Street becomes Blackman. Stay on Blackman for five miles. You'll see maple syrup signs.
