The sap started to turn on Wednesday and finished the last batch on Friday. Pulled the taps and started to clean the equipment. All in all not a bad year about 60 gallons of finished syrup. Less than...

It's going to be very busy for the next two to three weeks based on the 10 day outlook. If you get a chance to stop by on Sat or Sunday make sure you identify yourself so I know who I'm talking to. ...

Now he is suppose to deliver it on Friday. I've been very patient especially when they (Homestead maple) and Patrick have been giving me different answers on the progress and delivery dates. I hope...
