Brian just stopped back in from collecting and the sap is still looking great.  Some trees have stopped running for the year but many are still running well.  These cooler days are important to give us a bit more season.  If it jumps into the 50s again the season could end in a day.  The trees would change all that lovely sweet sugar to starch for the buds and that would be that.

We also just finished packing up some Grade B Syrup from last weekends boiling so we’ll have that on the shelves this weekend too.

We had the best run of the season so far Sunday so we were able to make a fair amount of syrup Sunday and Monday.  Looking for more before the week is out if all goes well.

Some of you may have heard there are places in the western part of the state with serious ice damage that is raising havoc with the sugaring operations.  Hopefully they can all get cleaned up and not suffer any more set backs.

Don’t forget to spring ahead on Saturday night.  This is always great for sugaring because the extra daylight at the end of the day means you can collect later if there is lots of sap.
