Tapping Pa 2011 Tioga County
Here at Patterson Farms we started tapping Monday Feb 7. Guys are having a hard time getting around in the woods because of the crusty snow. Watching the weather report every day. Looks like maybe a small run next week. It will probably take us around 2 weeks to get all tapped if the weather holds up.
