Good news we collected 108 gallons off 101 trees! Bad news, about half way through syrup started to get a little ropey. We kept the last 3-4 gallons separate, it still tastes really good just a...
We are about to go and collect. We actually are going to have a big day. Stay tuned!

This is always the great dilemma. Too early/too late. If the forecast holds I think you will be fine maybe a week early. I am thinking this weekend or next myself.
I have been using milk filters from fleet farm for filtering sap. Cheap and sap runs through nice.
Fellow Sappers!
Here is a site I ordered all of my stove pipe supplies through. www.woodstovepro.com. I ended up using Selkirk brand.
Another 124 last night. Hoping for 2-3 more days.
Tuesday-155, Wednesday-148 and Thursday-126. I am hoping we get sap through Sunday.
Fellow Sappers! Little update from Kaiser Farms. We collected 155 gallons two days ago and 148 yesterday. Was able to boil it down from start to finish in 3 hours both nights. Bottled yesterday...
Hello to everyone! I think we can start getting ready for a 8-10 day barrage. We have cooked 311 gallons so far and only bottled 19 pints and 24 half pints. My gravity lines ran last Thursday but...
My signature maple tree was putting out 5% last year.
I think we will get at least two weeks starting next Tuesday or Wednesday. After that all bets are off. My neighbor cooked the first week of May in 2014 so we will see.
If you are ever up near Buffalo stop by! I always like meeting the local syrup producers.
RileySugarbush it is amazing how much more sap you have already cooked just 40 minutes south!
