After a successful weekend offering curbside pick-up of online orders for their maple syrup, maple products, and a take-out fish fry, Genesee Country Village & Museum will again be offering its maple products as well as pulled pork barbeque dinners on Saturday, April 18, with orders taken online through Wednesday, April 15 at noon. Despite the Museum’s Maple Sugar Festival having been cancelled, fans have been able to pick up their favorite maple favorites to enjoy at home during Maple Curbside To-Go days. Items available to order include Museum-made maple syrup and maple treats, growlers of beer from Flying Bison Brewery and hard cider from OSB Ciderworks, pancake mix from New Hope Mills, Oliver’s candy, and the Museum’s own Life is Sweet maple-themed t-shirts.
Due to the overwhelming demand for take-out dinners, GCV&M’s Depot Restaurant will have pulled pork dinners available as well. Order-ahead dinners will include hickory smoked pork butt with maple barbeque sauce, baked beans, mac & cheese, and cornbread. All proceeds will go directly to supporting the staff and programs of GCV&M.
Orders will be taken online at gcv.org, and will be accepted until 12 pm on Wednesday, April 15. When ordering, guests can choose an approximate time for their pick-up, when they can pull up to the front of the Flint Hill Store and staff will load their packages into the car. There is also a discount available for GCV&M members, who will receive 10% off their entire order. Members are asked to contact the museum for discount code information.
