We had about 140 guests at the sugarhouse on Saturday. Great day seeing old and new faces, friends, and family. We passed close to another 1000 gallons through the rig. We currently have 48 gallons bottled with about 30 waiting. We too darkened right up this weekend..down in the 40s on the Hanna grader. Looking like the next week or 2 will produce some more sap. On our way to a record year and a goal we have been reaching for. We did a ton of woods work this year, built 3 new solar vac systems and added over a mile of tubing. We are now 100% on vacuum and while being 100% off grid.

Hell of a run yesterday and still going today. Was only able to haul 470 of the 550 in the woods. Should be another good day tomorrow. Sugar back up to 2% with the long freeze which looks to happen again this coming weekend. Forecast is great, I assume at least 2 weeks left. Sap was really rolling in as I collected at noon. We’ll see if the syrup lightens up or stays dark.

Monster run yesterday with the sunshine hitting the trees. Sap is still at 3% with the sugar maples. Looks like a banner year:)
