Mennonite country
Went up to Weber's in Heidelberg today to get more bottles and labels as a part of my potato seed run.
Sounds like Mennonite country was a great area to be located this spring for making lots of syrup.
Weber's have 1200 taps on buckets and made a little over 600 Imperial gallons. So that's 2 litres per tap.
Vacuum producers averaged 3 litres!
Weber's act as a depot for extra bulk syrup. They said some is for Jakeman's and for other packers. Price they said has come down to between 2.60 - 2.50 per pound.
They were also saying that some people in Quebec are interested in buying since the Federation is around 2.80.
2239 total taps. 443 gravity line, 1806 buckets
3x12 remake of a Small Bros. Lightning evaporator.
3x9 Darveau raised flue pan, 3x3 D&G reversible finishing pan.
