2024 Season Tapping has begun!

We have had a very interested winter. In fact, we didn't experience true northern winter weather until this past month. The snow levels have been significantly lower than normal and the temperatures have been above normal many more days than not. As a result, we were able to get into the bush nearly a month sooner than normal. A few drops were recorded when Jennifer did our first tapping a couple weeks ago on February 6th (earliest tapping here ever!), but the trees are slow to wake up as we went into a deep freeze again just after that, so we haven't been collecting anything yet.

In other news, we welcomed a new boxer pup to the family this past winter. His name is Oliver and he has much to learn. Trail boss Farley has been showing him around the bush and getting to know his way around the sugar house. 

In the next few weeks, stay tuned for Maple updates and a short video update of all the Sugar House post-fire repairs! Thanks to many generous donations, we were able to complete most of these last fall.

Happy mapleing!

Michael & Jennifer
