Ken is preparing the wood for next year.
This year we went through 11 totes plus a wood shed. He is planning on having 15 totes of wood this year.

Some may think that theaple.syrup season is only in Jan-Feb-Mar... But there are things that go on all year round.

These small plastic bottles are in England...for thank you gifts.

Today, 5 bottles were delivered for gifts for future in-laws.

Looking for maple syrup made the traditional way, collected by hand and each tree, boiled over a wood fired evaporator, and bottled immediately. We are open for business. We only sell at our door, not in any stores. Word of mouth sales are the best!

Open by chance or by appointment.

1L bottles $30
500ml $17
250ml $10 (perfect hostest or teacher gifts)
Available in amber and dark.

Day 40, gotta make it fun, or it is considered work!

We had to haul the jugs back from the bush.. I said to Dirk we will build a rack with sticks used in piling the lumber... So we did, and a small rope...

So how many jugs do you think we were able to bring back in one load?? Only lost 3 once, due to clearance of a branch 😂

Final day of boiling....if you want to see and smell it.. today is the day!
Clean up has begun.

If you want syrup we are selling it at the shack today.. stop in

$30 1L
$17 500ml
$10 250ml

This morning's conversation was... We are done! We are pulling the jugs. We are tapping out!

Yes there will most likely be another run tomorrow, but we are tired and done.

We have surpassed our goal, and we can hear the cottage calling us!!

Currently we have 301L bottled, labeled and available for sale.
Our goal was 257L for our 257 taps.
