Sweetened the pans yesterday and boiled in our first 300 gallons, not a great run but nice to see steam coming from the sugar house. Now we just need to keep the evaporator from freezing solid.

Boiled again last night for about three hr, poor sap flow yesterday, the temps were good but wind was wrong and strong. Hoping for better results later in the week. Concerned about our open house this coming weekend. We have some syrup from last year and a little we made this year.
Hope things change soon.
