It’s been a crazy couple weeks with little time to give an update. We tapped around 450 trees on January 26, had planned to tap earlier but the temps were too warm.we had our first boil on January 28th. January 30th gave us a beautiful deep freeze and we thought we were finally going to have a maple season like we did 5-6 years ago. Needless to say that was Short lived today is February 20th and we are entering an early spring. Tulips are coming up, peepers are out and trees are budding along the Big Sandy river and gradually making it up the hill side. Forecast calls for 60 degree days and 40 degree nights. Being completely in the New sugarhouse has been great just wished we were able to run more sap through it and the season was longer! We may get lucky and be able to boil some sap for Mountain State Maple Day this weekend but I’m guessing it will unfortunately be water.
Wishing all a safe and productive 2019 maple season
