This winter we added almost 2400 more taps in 2 new bushes, which takes us up to 7600 taps in total. This is part of our long term production goals, and we are excited to have these two new systems up and running. We also updated each system to auto start when the sap starts to run. We also have a monitoring system for each setup so that we can remotely check the progress throughout the day to ensure everything is working properly.

    Good afternoon,

    Do you offer tours with lessons for kids on your farm of the process for making maple syrup?

    Thanks,

    Andrea

      Hi Andrea,

      We operate as a private operation, in that we are not open every day, and don’t have a pancake house or do official tours. However, we do take guests in to show the process about how maple syrup is made, so I’ll send you an email and we can make those arraignments.

      Thanks

      Jeff

        Hello Jeff,

        My family and I had a wonderful time yesterday and really learned a lot. It was amazing to see the advances that have been made in the maple syrup process.

        I will likely be in touch in a few years with my other nieces and nephews to show them the exciting process.

        Thanks again for your time,

        Andrea
