The news from the rounds this morning is that we will have sap and be boiling all day today.  The mild temperatures and the bit of sun that poked out late yesterday gave the trees a nudge and there is sap out there.  Brian started collecting about 7:30 this morning and will collect until after 11 to get as much as possible in before we open today.  Hours today will be 12 – 4 pm.

Not everyone is too happy about this snow but we’ll take it for the chilling effect it will have on the trees.  We’ve been boiling and packing syrup most of the week along with making more maple cream and candy.  We will be open both days this weekend.

Hours  Sat 3/3          12-4 pm              We won’t be boiling.

             Sun 3/4          12-4 pm               We may be boiling depending on the weather on Sat.

 

Flowing Sap Video

We get questions all the time about how fast the sap comes out of the trees when it runs well.  Brian shot this video the day he started tapping and as you can see it was running GREAT!
