A Beautiful Spring Day.......

Today is a beautiful spring day.  I (Tom) have fired up the evaporator and have about 200 gallon of sap that needs to be processed.  Looking at the weather this morning it looks like the maple sugar season may be coming to an end.  I'd like to squeeze about another two weeks out of it but my herb garden wants to start growing.  Oh well, that's another blog......

Time is running out....

We probably have one or two more chances to do a boil.  If you're interested in seeing how it's done come on by the Red Door Sugar Shack it is ALWAYS open.  Come see, come taste, it's like watching paint dry but MUCH more fun and tastier!!!

Here is Andrew's new sugar house.  It is absolutely beautiful, he did a fabulous job building it with Roy Wallace and other silent investors.  Still have a little more work to do but next year we WILL be doing Maple Sugar Sunday (Open to the public).

Season is winding down......

Beautiful sunny day today, temps are suppose to be in the 50's and there is a slight spring breeze to dry everything out.  The sap buckets are overflowing and need to be collected.  Andrew and I boiled 75 gallons last night and 75+ the night before.

Andrew has several gallons sitting on the counter waiting to be finished and bottled.   What a great season he had this year.  New sugar house, rebuilt evaporator that is much more efficient, and great friends who helped him put it all together.
