Our 10th annual open house was a huge success due to the dedication of all of the great people who worked for hours prepping and working to sell product to and serve food to well over 2200 people Maple Weekend. |
This season was below average for syrup production for most of us in the southern part of the state. Our state of the art vacuum system was the hero this year. Keeping lines clean, new taps every year, and running constant vacuum really makes the difference. Mother Nature was not in our favor this year. Above normal temperatures this winter and spring caused the sugar content to be very low and sap flow began very early this year. Lucky for us we were ready for the season and tapped when we saw a warm spell in the forecast. This was the earliest we tapped in many years. That being said, the beginning of the season was pretty good but came up short after the second week of March. The syrup quality was very good this year and we made plenty of syrup for all who enjoy. I would like to thank you all for your support and I would be happy to hear from any other sugar maker or anyone who has a question. |
