Sap is still running for me too with the temps! I'm too small to have a market for commercial grade syrup to make it worth my while tho!

Sap is still running for me too with the temps! I'm too small to have a market for commercial grade syrup to make it worth my while tho!
I'm gonna call it quits! Got 600 gallons clear sap yesterday, but the syrup has a hint of chocolate flavor! Darn peeps I heard the night before the blizzard were right! Good thing I emptied and...
Brandon will ship! He is a good rep. Just call him. Sometimes makes trips to deliver if he has big orders and will even meet somewhere near a highway if you have smaller order.

Geez just had about 4 or 5 days with no freeze and high 50s, heard the peeps for the first time the other night and now full on blizzard with 45mph winds and 20s expecting up to a foot of snow by...
that's awesome Mark! Trainin up the next generation! Pulling spiles is actually enjoyable to me! I am about the same as you in that I'm on hold until we get some freezing temps again. Gonna finish...
"Rock maple" is slang for sugar maple. "Wet/swamp maple" is slang for red maples. I know people say there is a taste difference. I never let sap sit long enough to get the dark stuff during most...
Good to here Mark! Been hard at it up here the past 6 out of 7 days. Made about half what I made last year already! Call me crazy for running 700 gallons a day on a custom 2x4 with an RO running it...
I think it's time for a new RO and you can sell me your old one! I had 800 gallons yesterday and ran the RO for about 12 hours! Boiled till the RO was done, and have about 100 gallons in the head...
This is awesome Mark since last year was one of the worst for so many! I finally tapped last week and it ran a little for close to a day, then froze up good with a bunch of snow, and finally getting...
hope you are doing well Mark! I haven't tapped yet, but will in the next week or so after the next rounds of snow coming this week. Missed out on a lot of sap the past few days, but I dont like that...
I see lots of producers have tapped. How's it flowing for everyone? I'm kinda holding out for another freeze up now since the end of the 10day looks a bit warm and the noaa outlook for first half of...
I've still got to install about 100 more drops at one woods, and do some repairs in another that I couldn't access till Jan 1 because of hunting lease, and now there is 2 feet of snow on the ground,...
Anyone know why the website displays all messed up now? Also says it's not a secure site anymore. Maybe that has something to do with it? Doesn't matter the browser or computer, or internet...
Ended my season making some delicious dark on 3/26. Biggest season yet for me since I started in 2018! Even though we got the least amount of snow in record since the 50s,
and the warmest mean...
I should let Mark answer this, but to my understanding, one of the worst ever for the majority of the state. Strong La Nina wreaked havoc.
I am in the extreme minority and lucky, being up in the...
Mark, I thought you were the one telling me not to hang it up because there are a couple freezing nights with some white stuff coming up! :) I did still make good syrup sunday what I called the...
wow, what a run that was! got 25% of my crop this past week, the sugar was boosted too. 15" snow, multiple days of single digits is just what the doctor ordered.
I did retap (new holes) on a bunch...
Today could be the start of the last run up here! Hoping for a big one with that deep freeze of multiple single digit nights and ground frozen solid again!
A week of no freezing with a few days in...
Dont scare me with the daffodil thing! Ive seen em poppin up here because of that warmer than average February - early march I guess! They dont have flowers but they are poppin out of the ground....
March is often the snowiest month in canaan! Got about a foot since saturday. Winds and drifting picking up now. I just dont wanna have to hook up the snowplow since I got a pile of brush in front of...
220 maple,
thanks for your and Rechlins enthusiasm about and pushing the mapling in the great state of WV! one of five states with sugar maple as the state tree with so much untapped potential!...
What can cause sap to be off color? just had a little sap in the tanks that was fresh and clear, not cloudy, but a little brownish looking when looking at the totes. there was a thin layer of ice on...
There aren't any maples up to the top, its mostly red spruce, birch an mountain holly. I'd say the sugar maples go to 3800 ish around here. Keep working on her too Mark!! I think the best scenario...
the floor of the valley is 3200', so above that! Ive never checked, but I am sure the highest trees would be maybe 3500-3600'? the ridgeline around the valley goes to 4300'
