Update on the season so far....
We're still waiting. Been doing some maintenance and miscellaneous housekeeping and patiently waiting. it did warm up over the weekend enough to get a little run started to wake the trees up, we were able to capitalize on the warm weather and do a fair bit of vacuum leak repairs in the woods. Currently all the laterals are completely filled with sap/ ice the extreme cold causes drop lines to push off of spouts. we will visiting all the sugar bushes for the remainder of the week and into the weekend to rectify that and finish up all vacuum leaks.. I believe we will be making some syrup towards the end of the week finally.. 🍁🍁
🍁Maple weekend will be the 21st and the 22nd of March make plans to visit us and others around the state 🍁.
For the remainder of March providing we have sap we will be open on the weekends for visitors. Likely open during the week when we're cooking as well, look for steam, look for the open flag...

Not much to see but a winter wonderland .we've officially got 95% of our taps in which was the goal for today. Snow is deep and the terrain is brutal, I finished up by dark. This week I'll finish up the rest and focus on repairing vacuum leaks. We should be all set when it's go time.. 🍁🍁 tanks are clean vacuum pumps are ready.

It's always peaceful in the woods . Here I'm standing in the highest elevation of any of my sugar woods... The view is grand without all them maple trees in the way. I fear one day this land will get purchased by a developer solely for the view... Tapping update we plan to be all tapped by Sunday afternoon..

Tapping is underway snow is deep and progress is slow. Temps for the next several days looking a bit too cold for any real sap run.
It may be my first time not making syrup in February since I began...

Today was both a test and a deep clean on the evaporator before we get underway with sugar season. We.will be drilling trees for the next 8 or 9 days.. we will likely miss any bit of a sap run this week . we will be ready there after... Stay tuned

It was a hell of a year we've had ups and downs. Overall it's been good we made lots of syrup in the spring then tore our sugar House down we made lots of bees this summer and due to the drought honey crop was marginal at best then we had many bear instances in the bee yards which destroyed many hundreds of dollars of equipment and killed colonies.... As it stands we're still trying to finish the new sugarhouse and get in the woods in the next couple weeks to straighten up all the lines make some small changes so that we can start tapping trees early to mid February we are right down to crunch time and like I tell most people I'm used to the pressure... We'll keep our fingers crossed for a good 2026 and we wish you all a Happy New Year... Be sure to visit during the sugar season we are open most weekends and definitely on
NH Maple weekend.. be on the lookout for that... Thank you for your support and as always if you're in need of syrup or honey reach out direct or visit our website.

Making progress.....🫩😕 Pressure's on clock is ticking..

11/02/2025

Running a farm is gratifying most of the time. making something from nothing, being one with nature and managing livestock in a way that benefits them and us.. but just when things seem like they're going just right Mother nature deals us a curveball just to keep us on our toes. If it's an ice or wind storm blowing down trees in the woods forcing us to repair tubing,chipmunks and squirrels chewing on tubing ,snow storms limiting our ability to access the woods. Or black bears that want what they want..
it's been a real trying week at one particular bee yard. It's the same beeyard that a little over a year ago I had the same struggles with likely the very same bear.. I have modified the fence I have changed the charger I tested every time I'm there and there is more than 7,000 volts in that fence the problem is bears fur is so thick that they don't always conduct to actually get a shock unless they touch their nose on the fence. Typically I would just pick the hives up and move them unfortunately they're so heavy for winter I can't move them. I have strapped all the boxes and double check the fence we're going to keep our fingers crossed that it goes and finds another means of entertainment or that one of the hunters in the area can fill their tag.. it was a very costly week .. so far I lost eight colonies and lots of destroyed or damaged equipment...
