Various sample bottles from this year, we started with golden two weeks ago and hit amber and dark on our way to very dark today. While we do love the strong flavor of very dark we’re hoping for some colder weather so that we can get back to amber grade, 60 degree sap doesn’t have a very long shelf life and needs processed immediately.

Another beautiful day – perfect for starting to tap the Brass Road property

Jake got to practice his trucking skills last night – had to pick up some sap so we wouldn’t overflow our storage tanks at the other properties. These beautiful, warm, sunny days are keeping us busy with a TON of sap!
