    For those not on the email list, the info is on their webpage http://www.bascommaple.com/ and copied here.

    Also note that their Spring 2020 Open House, like the others, has been cancelled.


    Update 4/6/20 - Concerning Bulk Syrup

    Bascom Maple Farms is committed not only to the health and safety of our customers and employees, but also the promotion and wellbeing of the maple industry as a whole. Unfortunately, due to world events beyond our control BASCOMS' WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANY MAPLE SYRUP FOR THE REST OF APRIL. We anticipate reopening for purchasing syrup around May 4th, but please call or check the website to confirm. Recommendations from teh CDC, WHO, and State Goverments are changing constantly and could affect the reopen date.

    This was not an easy decision to come to, or one that was made lightly. Management spent many hours discussing the possible different scenarios. We decided that since Bascoms' serves producers from all over the maple belt, the only way to keep everyone safe was to suspend syrup purchases completely. You are still able to call in your equipment order and have it shipped, or set outside for you to pick up.


    Coronavirus Update 3/24/20
    Starting March 25th, customers will not be allowed to enter the buildings till further notice, this includes our showroom. We are here to ship any equipment orders you would like, as always you can place an order online or you may call us at 603-835-6361 and we can set it outside for you to pick up. We are still taking in syrup, but ask that you stay in your truck. You will not be allowed to help unload, or watch the syrup being graded. We will however still be paying you the same day for your syrup. Once unloaded you may drive down to the front entrance and we will bring your check out to you. We hope this wont last long, but in the meantime we need to take steps to protect our employees so we can continue to serve you. If something changes we will be sure to update it here on our website.

    As of today, Bascom will not be buying any bulk syrup (because of Covid 19) until May 4 at the earliest. The notice says to call ahead on or after May 4 to see if they have started buying at that time. This notice came from Bascom, with their letterhead on top.
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
