Been tapping here in Lyman NH since 1989 but I've been sugaring since 8 years old in 1968.
I saw that ad in New Hampshire for $28.00 at that price you could sell it bulk at bascom for more money med.amber at 2.70 a pound x 11 pound to a gallon is $29.70 per gallon

And adding as much as the wife will allow
(which is not much this year)
I read these prices and can't believe it. this area has gotten so saturated with large and small operations. i've lost all my customers when i retired. The co-op decided not to handle us smaller outfits and now just buys from one big place. What's the point of a community co-op when they do that? they lost my business and many others. No one will travel to pick it up. insurance agent doesn't even want to hear about signs advertising it. When we do shows (NO MORE) people will argue with me over the price and try to "bargain" like at a flea market! These are the same dummies who don't know the difference between honey and syrup!
Maybe I'll start a forum on "the stupid things people say"
Seems that selling for $28 doesn't make sense when bulk is about $30 give or take a bit without the cost of the jugs. A quart jug is about what $2.
$28 dollars a gallon - unbelievable...wonder if it is 5 finger discount
1100 taps on vacuum
3 x 10 oil fired evaporator with pre-heater
Springteck 300 R.O.
