News & Events 2010


The 2010 maple sugaring season is now history. It was an early season with an early ending. We started collecting sap on March 3rd and the sap flowed 28 days out of the next 31. Our last boil was on April 3rd which, in some years is the peak of the season for us. We did not reach last year's record production but it did end up being an above average season. This year the Northern part of the state fared better than the South.

This was the first year using our new reverse osmosis machine and we can report that the machine met or exceeded our expectations. The increased efficiency is nothing short of amazing. We consumed about six cords of wood, probably saving us about fifteen cords. The time spent boiling in the sugar house was also cut by about 75%, leaving more time for all of the other tasks necessary during this hectic season.

The jury is still out on the new check valve spout we installed this year. The season ended too abruptly because of three days of 80 plus degree temperatures followed by warm nights. It will be interesting to see how other producers fared with the new spout. We can then make a decision as to whether or not we should use them next year. This was a good year for high quality syrup and we find the flavor exceptional. We have a good supply of syrup in all grades

We always look forward to serving you. If you come off season best to call us first.
