GIVEAWAY and season update

It’s the most wonderful time of the year….syrup season!! The countdown
has officially begun. Only 8-10 weeks until we begin tapping our trees
and only 12 weeks until the MAPLE SYRUP FESTIVAL!!



That means it is GIVEAWAY time!! Our Facebook page (LM Sugarbush LLC)
has reached 1,395 likes as of today. When we reach 1,500 likes, we
will give away one container of delicious MAPLE CREAM to one randomly
selected person from our Facebook followers. Head on over to our
Facebook page - Make sure to like the page and share our GIVEAWAY post
to enter! MAPLE CREAM would be absolutely delicious on cinnamon rolls
around the holidays!!

If the link doesn't work, please let me know. I’m new to this so I’m
still learning!!!

Robert and Nic have been busy working in the woods. Nic had a day off
work on Wednesday and Robert and Nic both worked all day Saturday and
Sunday over the weekend. They are making great progress replacing old
spiles and updating the tubing system. Nic and Robert cleaned our
holding tanks in the Sugarhouse and everything is being prepared. Sap
will be here before we know it.



Jen and I were at the farm all day on Saturday. We trimmed hedges
around the music cabin and the vendor cabin. I think with all of the
craziness of taking over the business last year we missed a year
trimming everything. They looked like an overgrown mess. We also went
though all of our to-do lists, staff lists, vendor lists, and started
to put together a new sponsorship package that we are offering this
year to local businesses. Busy day!!



Mason and I made two deliveries on Thursday last week (December 4th).
Mason had a cold so we didn’t do anything interesting. We made
deliveries to Apple Acres in Bedford (right off highway 37). Apple
Acres is a small apple orchard and family farm. They do U-Pick apples
while they are in season and they have a wonderful little store. You
can stock up on some wonderful apple cider, caramel and candied
apples, and many other gifts and goodies. We also made our regular
delivery to Bloomingfoods in Bloomington. No good stories this time.
It was pouring rain most of the day and Mason was fussy.


We will be at the farm all weekend this coming weekend, and probably
every weekend until mid to late March, 2015. Come on by if you would
like to purchase syrup!
