Our last boil was on April 3rd and we finished thickening up what was left in the evaporator this week. Accounting for the 8,900 gallons of sap we sold and ~10,000 gallons of sour sap we purposely dumped, we ended up with around 80% of a crop. Not every year can be a great year, 2025 was much more like 2021/2022 than 2023/2024.

We’re working on removing excessive droplines while untapping this month. Specifically, any tree smaller than 8″ diameter, and any multi-trunk tree with too many drops. So far we’ve completed Faust road and reduced the tap count from 2856 to 2480, taking out 13% (376) of the taps. We actually think more taps have been removed over the years, we always seem to have extra spouts left over each season, but we lost the exact count. We expect to collect just as much sap next year, but with less leaks, cost, and effort.

Finally, here’s our annual one second every day video from the 2025 maple season!
