So far the season has been interesting to say the least. But we’ve still managed to make a fair amount of syrup despite the short warm spells over the last couple weeks. Looks like another cold week until next Saturday so we are hoping for some good sap flows then. In the meantime we will be working on getting some of our other maple goodies made this week.

Can we get weather any weirder than this? One day 60 degrees and less than 24hrs later down to freezing. While the warm did get some sap flowing, we really would like to see more moderate temps in the low 40s and nights well below freezing. But we’ll see. Brian collected today and boiled until 7:30. More sap still needs to be collected tomorrow so hopefully we will be able to boil again sometime this weekend.
Yesterday we picked up an order of the Maple Caramel Popcorn that was such a favorite for a long time. This is from the original Hutchinson’s recipe so it’s just as good as always but now being made by Van Otis Chocolates. And we have a couple new items we are trying from them to see what folks think. Some individual Maple Caramels and boxed Maple Cream Truffles. And we are stocked with Apple Hill Farm Pancake mixes and jams in 6 flavors too.
And we have the pleasure of having more pieces back in stock from Mike Gibbons of Nutfield Pottery. Mike’s a very talented potter and a member of the League of NH Craftsman. Check out his unique, practical and beautiful pieces.

The 2022 Maple Season is Here!
We are so excited to have the new season here and opening up for visitors once again.
It’s a new year and new things to look forward to. Brian has a new best friend (the Maple Mule) helping him get tapped and for collecting sap. Looks to be a great addition to the family. Tapping is underway and we might get a run before the freeze up this weekend. So check in and see how things are going on the website or on Facebook.
We’re are going to have that wonderful Maple Caramel Popcorn back in stock this year along with a few other additions. And since our gift baskets have proven so popular at Christmas, we are going to have some of those made up for folks to take home or give as gifts during Sugar Season.
Think sappy thoughts!
Brian & Sue
