Sorry...I listed an Ad but don't see the pics there, so I must've done something wrong. Sigh. I have misc. supplies including a finishing pan, with burner, 3 metal and 3 plastic buckets, spiles,...

To my fellow Southern CT Sugarmakers - I just wanted to let you know that Lafite (who posted here often) of Greenwood Estates Maple Syrup in Cheshire, sadly and suddenly passed away this past June....

I pulled my taps. Had sugar moths and ants already. Okay with what I made and still teaching a few more groups and that's my primary focus anyway.

I'm teaching, teaching, teaching when school's not cancelled or delayed. Maybe we'll tap by the end of the month. :)

We're teaching (kids) but not tapping (trees) because ours are STILL frozen solid!

A kid today asked if I tapped the tree maybe Maple Slushies would come out! Now wouldn't that be cool?

Valleyman..........your private message box is full...says you have to clear space. So..here's my note:
