    Hey CP, good to see you back. I've got about 200 left to change out and I'll be ready to punch in. I'm looking at drilling in the next 2 weeks. It looks like a warm trend coming. The frost finally settled in here and I'm hoping the snow pack helps prolong the season. Hope you have a great season, Al

    Hello everyone, Here's to a great season. Tapped 150 yesterday and felt real good to be at it again. Need to fix a few more things in another section of woods. And we'll be tapping another 150 and that will be enough for this year. See the temps are starting to turn. Hope all is well with everyone. Let it flow...

    Hi everyone, I've got about 2/3rds of my woods tapped, I'll probably have it all finished by tomorrow. Had a small run today, it was great to see the sap running out of the pipe line. Hopefully I'll be boiling in the next week, wish everyone a great season and may your sugar all test high.

    Hi all, I finished tapping yesterday afternoon. Did some work around the sugarhouse and called it a day. I went and checked tanks today,I've got about 600 gallons of 1.4 to start boiling with tomorrow morning. I'm disappointed in the low sugar but I've got to start somewhere. Hope it gets higher with the cold weather coming Monday night.

    Hi all, boiled last week and sweetened the pans
    I boiled again last Monday and pulled off 4.5 light amber and did 6.75 gallons of light amber again today. The sugar has been running on the low side so far this season. Not a great start but it's a start ,hope everyone has a great season.

    Started tapping yesterday,I got about 300 done but I've got a long way to go. The going was tough,the snow was really wet which made for slippery going on the side hills. I'm hoping to finish this week and be boiling by Saturday. Take care all I hope everyone has a great season.

    First year in Washington County - we were in Town of Saratoga previously. Tapped about a week and a half ago, 38 maple taps and 12 black walnut. Last week we got 40 gallons of maple sap, 15 of walnut. Boiled the maple first and got a nice light first run; boiled the walnut on Sunday, about 10 gallons of sap (tossed the ice), and got nearly a quart. First year with walnut and it's great! Went out and put in 13 more walnut taps to see what we can get. If anything, we'll be limited by wood to burn - don't know if we have enough after the move here...good luck everyone!
    2023 - block arch, 2x3 flat pan, 30 maple, 40+walnut - ?
    2022 - block arch, 2x3 flat pan, 36 maple taps, 25 walnut taps - 5 gallons between each
    2021 - block arch, 2x3 flat pan, 30 taps - 8 gallons
    2020 - block arch of high temp bricks, Badgerland 2x3 flat pan -8.5 gallons
    2019 - block arch of high temp bricks, 2 hotel pans - 8.5 gallons
    2018 - 33 taps, block arch with 2 hotel pans, 9.25 gallons
    2017 - 5 taps, big pot over the fire, 1.25 gallons

    Washington County neighbors,

    Anyone in the area willing to part with 200-300 gallons of sap for the right price? I am just across the river in Schuylerville/Stillwater area. DM if you have any you're willing to offload, I'm worried my season is over without the infusion.
