We boiled for the last time on Sunday March 8th. This was a terrible maple season. We ended up making 383 gallons of syrup. We definitely could have made more but the quality was terrible the following week. We decided to call it quits and save firewood. The goal this year was to make 500-600 gallons of syrup but Mother Nature had other plans. We will take what we got and come back next year and try again! Making syrup is farming. You’ll have good years and bad years. Hoping 2027 is much sweeter! 🍁🍁

I’ve been terrible at updating this page but the 2026 maple season has begun. We have boiled 4 times and made right around 100 gallon of syrup so far. The trees are very slow waking up this year from the cold weather we had. We have had just enough sap to boil every other day. We have the vacuum tight and are looking forward to the freeze tonight. This coming week looks perfect for the freeze and thaw and should get the trees running better. I have lots of syrup in jugs and ready to sell! 🍁🍁

Update from the sugar house! It’s been a long time since I posted, but I’m still here. We have been busy in the woods doing tubing maintenance and adding a new section of woods. We are officially ready to tap, probably will tap in the next few weeks while the trees are frozen before the next warm up. We are no longer tapping any bucket trees because of the labor and lack of help gathering. With that being said we will be right around 1250 trees on vacuum tubing, with a goal of making 550 to 600 gallon of syrup. Fingers crossed Mother Nature treats us well and we have a great maple season! Best of luck to all sugar makers!!! 🍁🍁

Mid season update. This year has been one heck of a ride. We started off with everything breaking but finally got on the right track. We have over 200 gallon of syrup jugged up and ready to sell and started filling barrels. We are up to 283.5 gallon and looks like a great week ahead to fill more barrels up. We are going to push for a goal of over 400 gallons of syrup. I had to go get a bigger sap tank for more storage at the sugar house so we can hold more sap on the bigger runs. We will see what Mother Nature has in store for us for the rest of maple season! 🍁🍁

Today we boiled for the 4th time and hoping the sap runs tonight when it thaws out so we can boil tomorrow. We will be well over 100 gallons of syrup tomorrow before the big cold snap! The cold will not affect the taps and will give me more time to add more taps. Hoping for a long season. The weather after the cold looks perfect! 🍁🍁

It’s been a busy few days. We have around 1200 taps done with about 100 more to go! We are getting the first sap of the season. Hoping for the best season yet! 🍁🍁

Update from the sugar house. With maple season approaching very quickly I started replacing a section of tubing that was put in 10 years ago. I’ve learned so much over the years and this tubing was not up to par anymore. I am also working on the new woods in Everett. All the drop lines are made I just need to install them and I’m switching to a new style saddle to minimize vacuum leaks. We will be making syrup in less than 2 months! 🍁🍁🍁

Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁🍁🍁

We made the trip to New York yesterday to pick up a new to me 600 GPH RO. This machine will greatly cut down boiling times and will allow me to tap more trees in the future! Now to get sap tanks in place and everything plumbed up. We will be sugaring in about 5 months!! I’d like to thank my dad for the help getting it and installing it! 🍁🍁🍁
