With the recent warm days and cool nights, the sap started slowly running  on Wednesday, March 3rd. We anticipate having our first boil this coming Wednesday, March 10th and hope it is the first of many boils. This year we added a preheater for the sap to decrease the amount of time needed for boiling in the evaporator. A reverse-osmosis machine for increasing the sugar concentration in the sap will be ordered and installed summer of 2010.

We now have syrup for sale in most sizes, with a large quantity of quarts, the most requested size.
