I am still looking for a 100+ taps around the Deerfield area. I got 60 gal of sap yesterday enough to prime up the homemade RO and boil this weekend. Good luck everyonecool:

Homemade RO is running at around 10% and I have around 40 gal of concentration to boil. So I figured a half pint it will be great day tomorrow. Got a bunch of cool bottle I can wait to try. Got to do few last things to take care of first thing in the morning and then it going to be time for relaxation and watching the syrup flow. Does anyone Know a little sugar bush anywhere around me. If so? Shoot me a message. Thanks

Still not even running good. It is almost noon and it is only around 30 degrees. And this wind is not helping at all. The vacuum systems might be going good but when you don’t have a sugar bush to have a vacuum it’s not helping either. This has been a very weird for me. It frustrating be ause I just want to boil make syrup.

Boiling tomorrow
Ran all 250+\- gal through the RO and i am going to fire up the ol’ Half pint at 7 am. How did everyone’s day go with visitors? Crappy day today but totshould be really nice. Filtered 2.5 gal today and it’s not as light as I hoped. Hopefully it lightens up a little so I can put some in my glass to grade at fairs? Does anyone know where I can enter my syrup. Gotta get some woods cred to get established my new sugar house for next year. Let me know. Thanks!!!

It was slow for us Saturday only 65 people had 200 last year. We did better on sunday about 350. Still not as good as last year.

It was sporadic for me on both days but the sales were good. I have a hard time getting people to come down here off of the beaten path when there's fresh donuts and farm animals at the huge place just up the road. How can I compete with that?

Yeah Russ hard to compete with the really big dogs. Some on the ridge are to big for my likes. I mean I would love to have them but as a small timer I like the little sugar houses to visit. I’m glad things went good for the ones that were open. A little disappointed for you that your shack was not on the wedsite. Kinda a big weekend to get that messed up. It’s ok because last year everyone that was a member was on it. I had people show up to my 8 by 6 shack that once was a little kids play house. It was funny that looks they had!! Lol.

Repurposing a kids playhouse into a sugar house is yankee ingenuity at its best. The kids weren't using it anymore so why let it sit there and rot.
