Finished tapping tree's last night and we have around 3000 taps in. Vacuum is set up and we checked it today for leaks and seems to be all in order. Walking trough about 1.5' of snow wasn't easy but the 2 of us got it done in 3 days. Plenty of coffee and other beverages along with some sugarhouse meals makes it all worth it. Going to buy our jugs tomorrow and will hopefully beginning to fill orders soon. Will be posting pictures also.

You can't beat hot dogs boiled up in the sap - goes well with a glass of some sap straight from the sugar bush. Jack wax off the ice block for dessert and all's well. Hope you have a good season.

Need to check inventory - we bought more than we needed last year (I think) - but will check.
Hope all is going well for you and your brother, Danny.

sounds like a lot of work. I'm not a maple syrup fan though. I like the flavor of Pure Cane Syrup over Maple. Making that is a lot of work too, but at least it's not snowing. lol

I love real Maple syrup We sell the remainder in 42 gallon ss barrels. The price is set by Canada which we don't know until late march usually. This year we are going to have a barrel stored and we will bottle it up at a later date to fill orders. I had quite a few on here after we sold out but was able to get syrup from one of my other brothers to get to the customer.

That is great news, Danny. I'm looking forward to getting two more jugs of that delicious maple syrup.

Danny....Was just thinking about your maple syrup the other day. I'm on the list and have a little left from last year (gave a bunch away as gifts...lol). Just verifying I'm ready for more.

Boiled up 25 gallons yesterday. First year using a reverse osmosis (RO) and this syrup going by the scale turned out to be delicate,light in color but very rich flavor. We run a little over 2000 gallons of sap through the RO yesterday.
