Has anyone heard anything about fall seminars? Last year Bascom's had one, but I just called and she didn't know anything about one for this year.

New Hampshire Timberland Owners Assocation and UNH Cooperative Extension are hosting two "Intermediate Maple Sugaring" workshops in mid november and early December.

One is in southern NH at the Maple Guys sugarhouse, and one is up in Berlin at Bisson's sugarhouse.

I think this link will work: http://www.nhtoa.org/2011%20Fall%20%20Maple%20Sugar%20Class%20Brochure. pdf

We have hosted this in the past right around sugaring season, but based on feedback from participants we have moved it to the Fall so producers can attend rather than be out tapping, etc.

Glad to hear it Sam. I look forward to these every year and it saves me from having to make a separate trip to sell any bulk syrup and buy supplies.

Eric, what level of sugarmaker is the intermediate level good for?

Josh- the seminar is designed for someone who might have 50-100 taps and wants to learn about tubing, vacuum, filtering more than 2-3 gallons at a time, raised/drop flu evaporators, etc. Lots to cover, but thats been our target audience. Having said that, we have had folks with 200-300 taps participate...

I can say that I have learned something at all the ones I have been to...we had 40+ folks at the ones we did last February.

Does anyone know of any fall seminars in northeast Ohio/western Pa. Not sure I could make a trip to VT or NH but this is exactly what I need.

Any updates from Bascom's on a Fall seminar?
