Waited one extra day and did our last boil last Monday. Finished up our best year ever - 11 gallons of maple, and 1 gallon of walnut. The walnut trees didn't produce as much sap as we hoped, but it...

Crazy to say, but looks like tomorrow will be our last boil of the year. We have a little over 40 gallons in storage bins, and this last boil will get us up over 10 for the year - most we've ever...

Less than a month in, and already we have bottled 5 gallons of syrup. MUCH better than last year when we only got about 4 for the whole season. Trees have been running, and we have 60 gallons waiting...

Tapping our maples today, and they're running well already. Much less production on these maples than our previous home, but have an added bonus of a black walnut grove. They tapped well and we got...

First year in Washington County - we were in Town of Saratoga previously. Tapped about a week and a half ago, 38 maple taps and 12 black walnut. Last week we got 40 gallons of maple sap, 15 of...

First boil last Sunday with crzypete, got about 3.5 quarts. Lots of ash without a grate! 2nd boil Friday, used last year's melted grate upside down for airflow - much improved efficiency and less...

30 taps in, 40 gallons collected - ready for first boil tomorrow!!

Collected about 100 gallons Monday-Wednesday, boiled about 40 yesterday morning, and collected 40 more. Looking to have a full day boil tomorrow, hopefully get through a bunch. We got a lot of light...

Also a decent run Sunday, looking forward to more today, maybe an afternoon boil! No buds here that I've noticed (Schuylerville area).

I tapped 4 trees on Sunday, 12 taps, to see if we could get anything from this weather. Between yesterday and today, we have maybe 7 gallons. I'll check tomorrow for more...maybe that nice light...

Wife boiled 30 more gallons today, 3 quarts finished. Buckets full when I got home from work, like 50 more gallons. Looks like another busy day tomorrow, hopefully boil 40+ gallons, starting before...

Boiled about 30 gallons yesterday, got 3 quarts. Checked today, 30 more gallons in the buckets. Looks like a busy week. Need to figure out my setup - last year we got 5-6 gph on block arch without...

I cooked about 20 gallons of sap into 2+ quarts of syrup Saturday, just as an excuse to be outside, but not as much flow as I'd hoped for. More in the buckets today but didn't go out in the wind to...

Collected just shy of 40 gallons on Sunday and started boiling, got 3 quarts of syrup to start the season. Looks like awesome weather this week!

I put in 25 more taps Wednesday. After work today my buckets (ten 5 gallon buckets) were about 1/2 full. Hoping to do our first cook Sunday!

I live east of Saratoga Lake, and got excited and tapped one tree (3 taps, 3 trunk split tree) yesterday. It was dripping in the morning with the sun, but I probably jumped the gun - only about 2...
