had a full maple weekend- got a bunch of sap from Parker to get me through- thanks a ton- was busy both days- sold over 30 gals of syrup- great help from Mark, Dave and my family- probably the best thing was seeing my daughters sell the "hand painted recycled sap buckets" that they had worked so hard on...they were very psyched..

sap was running very well tonight when we gathered- got about 600-625 gals of 1.6%- Dave ran it thorough the RO and made some decent looking 7.4%.
we had some buckets that on one side of same tree there would be 3 gallons in a bucket and the other side would be done dry...

we are around 125-ish gals and hope to get above 130. 130 would give us 2/3 of last years per-tap average. Time to start looking for some bulk...

keep it coming...

-best of luck-
