4. Their are other opportunities including selling equipment, tubing installations ect.

I would urge you to attend the state Association Meeting on the 12th. Jeff Goulet Sales and Marketing Manager Lapierre. will be your speaker with the topic "Maple Sugaring for the small Producer" . He has over 20 years of industry experience.

Could you say where that meeting on the 12th is?

I'm new to sugaring and this site...I have 250 acres in Adirondacks ( though I live in NJ I spend A LOT of time up north )

I've been making small batches last few seasons (except last year) and am very interested in getting involved commercially on a small scale to start....

ANY advice I'd greatly appreciated!!
