I am looking for some more trees to tap in hollis nh. If anyone knows anyone living in town id barter of some finished syrup or candy. Anything 10 to 50ish taps would be greatly appreciated. Id consider other towns but those would have to be short lines like 50 total taps and pumping it out. Thanks in advance guys either way

Just spot some trees and knock on doors. Start by asking your friends who don't make syrup themselves. I used to give 1 qt of syrup for each 100 taps, now I pay cash or syrup, their choice but my rate is over $.75/tap (was .75 in 2011, + inflation rate as specified by Social Security compounded every year since). Some pay as little as 50 cents others pay $1.00 or more.
Good luck, first you look for 50 taps and before you know it you're tapping 1000+.
