Told my wife last night that I’d take today off to rest and relax a bit. Between maple sugaring, shiitake yard work and my part time job it was an...
I’ve noticed the gauges I have get a little wonky after first season use. A couple were “zeroed” at 2 or 3 in Hg. I didn’t take the time to see if...
Standard 8 oz. bottle. Bottling here this year got so much easier. Used to take me so long. Was done in probably 30 minutes last night.
Wow... was not expecting that finally dollar amount! That’s crazy.
First round of bottles done! Cooling and ready to be labeled. 150 gallons through the boil so far. Im noting an increase in efficiency with the...
First boil of the season! New hood vented to the cupola is working just great. Man it feels good to be back at it!! [ATTACH]
Lots of conflicting info about taphole spacing out there. Seems everyone has their own beliefs and methods. Lots of people say 6” any direction....

Started tapping yesterday and kept going today. Taking a gamble on the weather this early in February but right now the sap is running hard and...
Starting him young! Get the boy addicted to sugaring and everything nature early on and you’ll never have to worry about him asking for video...

Just finished cutting in all my new drops and spouts on Wednesday. Tanks are scrubbed. Buckets are ready to go. Working a half day today and...
Was a good day today! Got a little cutting in this morning. And then driving home this afternoon I happened upon a beautiful sight. Like bright...
Thanks guys! Casper, I’ll keep that in mind if something doesn’t work out going ahead here. Appreciate the offer very much! I just got off the...
Looks great!!! Would love to try some.
Awesome! That’s the size pan we are boiling with.
I was thinking I’d try to get away with a budget option to deal with the steam this year but after some hard consideration and talking to my wife...
Who else has maple on the mind?! It’s just about that time of year again! Maple time. Maybe not for the lads further north but in southern New...
