First time we have HAD to use snowshoes....

Love hearing that the kids at school did some tapping! We are all rearing to go here in New Hampshire -- looking like the weather is going to start moving to more sugaring weather this coming weekend! If forecasters are right, we should all be collecting sap next week!
2024 - 16 taps - buckets on our best producing trees, still boiling on a block arch with slight modifications/refinements over the years.
2021 - 25 taps - all buckets
2013-2020 - 30/41 taps: discovering which trees were the best producers
2012 - First year - 21 taps in our backyard - block arch evaporator with 3 steam table pans!
good to hear that the Madbury program is off to a good start this year. looking forward to following your progress.
