    Default Tapping 2025

    Hello Illinois syrup makers! As always I am hoping for a good season. I am planning to tap our usual ~220 taps next week. Who else is getting ready for syrup currently?

    I'm ready to go here in Bureau county, Mother Nature is not. Looks like at least another week of cold here. Probably around 120 taps for me this year, my 70 year old legs can't navigate the slopes like before. Still anxious to get started. Have a good year everyone.
