We have sap!! We had a good run on Sunday afternoon (February 1) and a smaller run on Wednesday (February 4). The weather looks fantastic for a great run this weekend. We plan on firing up the evaporator on Saturday!!
The guys tapped most of our trees over the weekend (Jan 31 and Feb 1) while Jen and I were on our disastrous trip to Michigan. Robert finished the back hill on Monday and we expect to be fully tapped by the end of the weekend.
We have plenty of festival prep to do as well. The t-shirts have been picked up from the printer (Sampan in Jeffersonville). They do excellent work of you ever need screen printed items!! We also need to package our maple cream into individual half pound and one pound containers. We also have two decently sized wholesale orders to bottle and boxing so we will have a very busy weekend.
Robert's truck is home from the shop. The diagnosis was a faulty alternator (Robert replaced that) and a faulty fuel temperature sensor. We also removed the performance computer system which may have been the culprit of the electrical problems to begin with. Who knows. At this point I'm like....
Mason and I made three deliveries to Indianapolis yesterday. We delivered to Good Earth Natural Foods, Pogues Run Grocer, and Green Bean Delivery. We fed the ducks at Good Earth for over an hour.
We will be at the farm all weekend if you would like to stop by!!
