    Default Return to sap providers

    Anyone have any of their "give back" info they'd share? I know everyone's got a different policy.

    We are ROing and cooking for a handful of people who bring sap over. Just curious.

    I bring my sap to a local guy and we do a 50-50 split. I have no expense in the equipment for processing and I bring him about 1600 gals a year. I think about getting an evaporator, but you know thats only the start. Firewood, Sugar shack, storage, RO, bottling equipment, electric service, ect.

    I only buy sap because people are going to think you don't put much effort into cooking their syrup for them. If they want syrupthen they can tank that cash and turn around and buy it for a small discount.

    I came here to ask the same question. Our daughter and her friend gather roadside sap from trees they rent and bring it to us to boil. We were wondering if the agreement we have is typical or not. Right now, we keep 50% of the syrup and they get 50%. They use our filter press and canner, but buy their own containers.
