Season Update

We have syrup!! We made our first batch of syrup last night. It still needs to be filtered, but it's either light or medium amber. Jenny reports that it tastes amazing!!

We had a busy weekend at the farm. We had two friends come up from Tennessee to help and they got a workout!! Richard helped the guys finish tapping the trees and Julie helped package the t-shirts, price the maple tea we sell in the store, and package maple cream. Jen and I cleaned the Sugarhouse and mom and her friend Rena cleaned the children's activity building. We bottled syrup for wholesale orders and boiled in the evenings. I'm at home with a sick kiddo today so I'm boxing up mail orders and doing a few other things from home.

We plan on boiling at least one more day this week before the weather turns cold again. The cold snap will recharge the trees for another good run later next week. We are going to package our maple coated nuts and maple cream cookies this week. Hopefully I can start setting up the store this coming weekend. So much to do!!
