We just readied 2000 pounds of syrup and sugar to send to Amazon. Instead of shipping dozens of boxes through UPS at around $0.40/pound we’re shipping these two pallets out on a truck for < $0.08/pound. This significant savings will allow us to keep our prices lower than any other competitor on Amazon while still making it worthwhile to sell!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, we’ve been even more busy since the trees started to bud. Quick update on our sugar, checkout the new containers and labels, we feel this extra cost is well worth it compared to vacuum bags. In addition to cleaning up and taking out the taps we’ll be working on maple cream and candy these next few weeks as well as getting our supplies ready for our new properties.

Yesterday we finished connecting our solar panel array and went live producing power! this 14kW system should produce ~75% of our annual power consumption. Thanks to Solar Revolution out of Erie, PA, they did a great job!
