I tapped 30 trees yesterday this week should be a good week. I’ll be boiling next weekend. Who else has tapped in the area?
Tapped in Hampden MA

Done in Westfield. Weather looking too warm next weekend but through Thursday looking great. I'm sure I'll be using the tank and playing catch up as well.
2025 - 47 taps, new head tank, and pump set up to feed to evaporator
2024 - Ended with 33 taps and another pancake breakfast
2023 - 25 taps. 9 Gallons and lots of sugar sand. 35 people over for breakfast
2022 - 8 x 14 sugarhouse and a steam bottler. 50 buckets! 9 Gallons syrup and 4 pounds of sugar
2021 - 20 x 30 Mason arch, 34 taps and 8 gallons. Dad hooked too.
2020 - 2 taps, 1/2 pint on a turkey fryer
I'm a bit west of you, tapping Weds. Good luck!
