spring harvest

Creating enough heat to generate some steam. Any ideas on what we are making yet?

Homemade Maple syrup! We need 40 gallons of pure maple sap to boil down to 1 gallon of syrup.

Trying a sip of our half-boiled sap. It's sweet but needs a long way to go before its ready for our pancakes.

It's been a long day at the sugar shack and we are all wiped out.
