Despite what the calendar says, the Maple Sap is running. And when the sap is running we will collect it.

 We have had a great start to the 2017 Maple Syrup Season. Thanks to the weather forecasters alerting us of the early warm spell, we were able to get in the bush and get the tapping completed before the Maple Sap started running. 

Shortly after we finished tapping the weather warmed up to the -3 C to +5 C range and the sap started running. We had several good runs and were able to make some beautiful Light Maple Syrup.

 The last few days it warmed up even more, and hasn’t frozen for a few days now, so the sap run is beginning to slow. However it looks like we have some freeze/ thaw cycles coming up in the near future, which should start the sap running again. Until then we will be hard at work making sure that everything is working properly and in tip top shape for when the sap starts to run again.
