Maple Syrup, time to tap trees!

Maple Syrup Time and Tapping Trees arrived today!



The guys started tapping trees today. They will finish the job tomorrow. We are ambitious this year, 100+ trees! That is a lot of boiling. Sap flow depends on the temperature. Ideally, days above freezing and nights below freezing produce a heavy flow of sap up the trees, and that is what we need to collect lots of sap. One gallon of pure maple syrup requires 40 gallons of sap collected from the trees.
