Tapped in PA

[3GoatHill]

43 taps on 3/16 tubing. Tapped today. Wasn't expecting it to be running today, but it was. It's our first time using tubing. We're on a pretty good slope and after dropping one too many buckets of sap while slip sliding away, we thought we'd give the tube a try. We tested at 2.2%, not too bad for 100% Norways that they told us not to bother with. We should be boiling soon!

Family in PA losing their trees to eminent domain. ATTN PA
The Constitution Pipeline intends to begin clearing trees in PA in the start of its 124 mile route from Montrose PA to Albany NY. We intend to deter them. We will be focusing on the Zeffer/Holleran property on Upper Lake in New Milford where tree clearing is imminent and the current maple syrup operation is threatened. The property is being seized via eminent domain, with neither any landowner permission nor previous compensation.

You can help! We need videographers, photographers, monitors, and volunteers! Our goal is to have a presence on the property from 7am till dusk from now untill March 31st. We need volunteers for shifts from 7am-noon, and from noon- 4:30. Bring your friends and neighbors! Interesting times and free maple candy are guaranteed for all!

Contact Megan for additional information or to sign up for shifts.

How do you test your sugar content?

How do you test your sugar content?

I used to use a hydrometer, but this year I splurged on a digital refractometer. They're pricey but really accurate.
