This slideshow shares one second every day of our 2022 maple season here at Nova Maple Syrup. This year was very similar to 2021, we ended up making around 85% of a crop in a 3 week period. January and February were very cold and filled with snow. The snow pack slowed our droplines replacement and tapping progress, but we didn’t lose much sap because of it. The season then sprang into full gear for the first two and a half weeks of March, but like last year we couldn’t  get a hard freeze to extend the season. After the taps ran dry we tried turning on one pump again during the first week of April. To our surprise wee actually got a couple gallons of sap per tap, but the run was short lived and the syrup was not table grade. Given the weather and how the season went for other local producers we feel like we did alright this year, but we’re definitely looking forward to the 2023 season!
