    Default Looking for sap for Saturday's Maple Day!

    This Saturday is Kentucky Maple Day, but things have been frozen this week and we have no sap to boil. I'm sure everyone else is in the same situation, but in case there is anyone who is in possession of extra sap and would be willing to sell some please let me know! I'm not looking for a ton, 150 gallons would be great but really anything more than 70 gallons or so would be great. I'm in Louisville, so not the closest to most Kentucky producers but I would be willing to drive a few hours.

    Dave,
    Years ago I used to visit a syrup producer near Brandenburg, his name is Paul Shultz, wish I would have kept his number, might have been someone close by that could have helped you. There was an article written about him in the Meade County newspaper Someday if I ever get to visit my sister again I’ll PM you an maybe stop in and check out your set up.

    Thanks Mark. I'm sure everyone in Kentucky is in the same situation, it's been cold this week. If you're ever in the area, feel free to get in touch.
