Our new bottling unit has been put to good use and we have replenished our supply of maple syrup and maple cream. Stock up for fall  - gifts, baking (a drizzle of maple syrup on apple crisp), topping off your oatmeal on a cool morning , drizzling roasted vegetables with syrup.. .  . .

Enjoy our maple syrup! We'd be pleased if you spread the word about our syrup and maple cream.

Greetings from the sugarbush mid-summer! We have purchased a state of the art bottling unit and we will refreshing our supply of maple syrup at the end of August.  We have had several people inquire about maple cream and we'll be processing the light amber syrup into maple cream end of August or early September.

If you want to preorder a certain quantity or size of syrup, please feel free to send us an email  - dsomers@citlink.net or check back on our website late August.

 

Enjoy the remaining part of summer!

Late Season Snow and Sap Flow Weakens

by Don 4/17/2014 10:24:00 AM

We were greeted by 3 inches of wet snow as we closed out our maple syrup production for the 2014 season.Sap flow decreased to less than 1/2 gal. per tap, but more importantly, the sugar content in the sap dropped to 1.4 % ( compared to ave. of 2.4 % ). This translates to over 60 gal. of sap to make a single gal. of syrup. This yield is too low to justify the time and wood necessary to continue on.We completed the day with 30 gal. of syrup. This closes out the production phase for us and ushers in the enjoyment phase for you. We only have a limited amount of Grade B syrup. If this is your preference, please order early to avoid disappointment.**** Email your preference for Grade B, available in quarts or gallons.
