Finally some sun.

Spring has been a wet....long time coming,but now and then we actually get to see a little sonshine. When the ducks don't swim in our pond and use the lawn for floating around, that's when you know there has been way too much rain! The sugar house has been cleaned up from the busy season and we are ready for our busy summer tourist season. Our store hours are longer so you can get in here to get your Maple creemees and other goodies. Grade B syrup is on sale and the grass fed beef is 20% off except for the ground beef. So stop up and take a look around, new products arriving daily.

Seasons End

Looks like sugaring season is coming to an end, but it sure has been a good and busy one. Some late nights of boiling to make room for the seeming never ending flo of sap. A sugar makers dream and nightmare all at the same time, not wanting to loose a drop of sap to make more of the liquid gold. All in all a great year. Stop by and get some of this years syrup! See you soon.

Winter? / Spring?

We just might catch a glimps of spring this weekend but we have been thinking that for weeks now. This weather sure is good for making maple syrup. We are having a real good year. Sometimes there is more sap than hours in the day to boil it all. People really enjoy the tails told in the sugarhouse. Stop in if you see the steam still rolling out late at night, Burr or Tom would welcome some one to talk to, it helps to keep them awake.

Finally Fancy

Well the week of cold weather worked----Burr is making Fancy and he his real happy. All sugar makers like to make Fancy grade syrup. The big April Fools Day snow storm seems to have missed us a little, but I'm sure we will still get some, we always do. So the sugaring continues. This may end up being a nice long season.

Too cold for the flow

Even though we had almost two solid weeks of sap flow,now Mother Nature has thrown us a curve ball and it never gets quite warm enough to let the sap run. Every day the weather says it will be a little bit warmer......we're still waiting! We have made Medium and Grade A Dark syrup so maybe this cold spell will bring on the Fancy syrup. That would be great. The robins and red-winged black birds are back and the back roads are a mess so lets have sugaring season --- again.

Sugar Snow

We have been boiling sap every day since March 13th the day it began. Wow, does it seem good to have the air filled with that wonderful steamy smell of sap slowly turning to Maple Syrup. YUM!! Yesterday and today we've had rain, sleet, and snow. Elliott says it's sugar snow. Lots of folks came to the Maple Open House weekend, Parked any where they could squeeze in and up and down the road. Even Burr's dooryard became parking some times. Had a great tour out. Thanks to all who came to see us. Stop up to the sugar house, Burr would love to visit with you. Happy Spring!

Four days and counting

Today is Wednesday and the fourth day in a row we have been boiling. What a great week, and by the looks of the weather this great sugaring streak will continue. We have been pretty busy the last couple of days, locals and tourists alike see the steam and have to stop for a look. We have some Grade A Dark Amber syrup already canned if you just can't wait for 2011 maple goodness. PLease stop by.
