THE BAKERY IS CLOSED FOR THE SEASON
Do you know how the seasons at Mapleside always bring new adventures? Well, here’s the latest: our bakery will be closing down for this season. But hold on—this isn’t goodbye, it’s more like a “see you soon.” We’re cooking up some seriously exciting things for 2025 and beyond— new experiences, fresh ideas, and even more ways to create memories at the farm.
Mapleside has always been about bringing families together for those “this is what life’s about” moments—whether it’s the sparkle in your kiddo’s eye during Breakfast with Santa, the buzz of Concerts Over the Valley, or the pure joy of Pumpkin Village.
We’ve loved sharing these traditions with you and we’re just not just looking to add another chapter, we’ve got a whole new book of experiences in the works. Right now, we’re busy behind the scenes to make Mapleside a place where the magic happens all year round.
So, thank you for being part of this journey. You’re not just visitors—you’re family. We can’t wait to share what’s next because the best is truly yet to come.
Stay tuned,
Greg & Kelly

Bryan Ricco
Baker
Bryan, originally hailing from South Euclid, Ohio, has always found his calling in the culinary world, with a particular focus on kitchens. In 2010, he was granted a remarkable opportunity to work as a full-time baker alongside the esteemed master bakers at Distefano's Authentic. It was during this time that Bryan discovered his true passion for centuries-old baking techniques. Now, Bryan has taken on a leadership role at The Bakery at Mapleside Farms. He is committed to providing the community with nutritional artisan bread, sourcing the highest quality organic whole grain heritage flours. These organic flours are stone-milled, a process that preserves the nutrition of the whole kernel, leaving behind essential proteins, oils, vitamins, and minerals that are typically stripped in today's commercial flours. The result is amazing breads, which are known for their soft interior and chewy, amazing crusts.
