One of the random places I had left to visit in Door County was Jorn's Sugar Bush. I've seen the faded billboards advertising for the place for years. I've read the articles that say Jorn's Sugar Bush has the best maple syrup and I really wanted to check it out. To be honest, I just wanted to buy some real maple syrup. The hubby is game for the slight deour.
Jorn's Sugar Bush is located on Hwy T just off of Hwy 42 as you are coming into Egg Harbor from the south It is open 10-4 daily.
Jorn's Sugar Bush is a one man operation. You literally ring the door bell, walk in, turn on the light, and wait for Mr. Jorn to come down to his little store from his house. I felt bad that we stopped because the poor man was on crutches and I made him hobble all the way down to sell me some maple syrup.
The Store doesn't offer much just some maple syrup in various sizes along with some jellies and cherry pie filling. It is nothing more than a cinder block shack. However it is the best in Door County.
The hubby stayed in the car while I went in to get some maple syrup. After talking to Mr. Jorn for awhile, I texted the hubby and told him he had to meet the man. He's 98 years young and had stories to tell. He may have repeated the same stories a few times in the short time we were there but what do expect from a nonagenarian. He was very interesting to listen to and well worth the extra time spent buying a quart of maple syrup.
If you haven't been to Jorn's Sugar Bush, stop by the next time you are in Door County. His maple syrup is worth it and so are his stories. I am so glad we stopped and got some real maple syrup. I know we will be back next year.
