I was raised on Mapling with my Dad in our back yard operation. I got away from it for about 20 years, Just helping him out occasionally when I came back home for a visit. After I moved back home I realized he wasn,t gonna be doing it many more years. and I would like to continue the family tradition. So i started my operation. Fortunately he was around a couple years when I started to help me out. He's been gone 3 years now and I sure do miss him when the snow starts melting.
