    Default MapleRama 2014 Thank You

    I was one of the tour stops Friday, Gervais Family Maple, in Bakersfield VT. I just want to thank all of the visitors that came to the sugarhouse. It was great to see all the new faces to me in the maple industry. I wish I could have talked to everyone a little longer. With the limited time we had I wish I could have learned more about everyone. Where you traveled from, how many taps you have how long you have been in the maple industry... If you have a moment could reply or send a message about your operation. Thank you again and my door is always open if anyone would like to come back to visit, maybe i can get to see your operations sometime. Gabe Gervais & BJ DeRosia

    Thank you for opening you sugar house. Very nice and I hope you get the steam-a-way working like it should.

    This was a very well run tour to the nicest sugarhouses in the world and the organizers should be proud of themselves. The hospitality by all the sugarhouse operations was genuine and made it easy to pick up great ideas at every stop.
    The "red carpet" rolled out by Branon Family Maple Orchards and JR Sloan's Green Mountain Mainlines was truly impressive.
