10 min away. Between Putnam and Avon, we own Flagswipe and tap trees around the farm where the outdoor is. We had a small run today, will know more tomorrow when I dump everything, but it makes me hopeful again !

Wow is that ever light. I can never get it that light
Those round bottles with the leaf motif look like giant pennies. Lovely syrup photo.

...it tastes great...I had too much today.......once we get that reset it should lighten up even more.
Collected over 200gal today, boiling Wed. I don't know how you guys make that light syrup, mine is dark. Tastes great but not fancy looking like that. The good news is 90% of the people I sell it to want the darkest coloured I have, perception thing I guess. My first batch off the evaporator on the 17th was a nice light amber but since then its pretty dark.
I got little yesterday and I'm pretty sure after that storm last night my buckets are full of rain water now
