Hi good michiganders,
Does anyone have a gallon they'd be willing to part with? If you could give me a quote with shipping to Seattle, WA 98117, I'd appreciate it. Man, I miss my black maples in Ann Arbor. Does anyone think it would be viable to give sugaring a shot out here in seattle or nearby? Hope all is well and look forward to hearing from someone with a gallon to sell.
Thanks,
John

Hi, I'm new to mapletrader and to making maple syrup in general. My first season will be 2019, but I'm already obsessed! I look at the calendar everyday and count the days until February. I'm Ron from Grosse Ile, MI.
