| Tapped Maple Tree |
Sugaring season has officially ended, and we are now in the cleaning process. After maple season, cleanup is always a tedious, time consuming task in which everything is sterilized, from the tiniest tool or piece of equipment to floors and walls.
This season was not as productive as we had hoped. The unseasonably warm weather and the number of consecutive nights it didn't freeze made it hard for the sap to continue to run. However, we decided to stick it out and continued to draw sap as long as possible, collecting a total of 146,210 gallons of sap. This year's yield of approximately 2,200 gallons of syrup did not come close to last year's 3,000+. Even so, we look forward to next year!
