Sugaring Has Ended

Harvey said we are done. He is cleaning up and taking the arch apart to clean.

The trees budded here yesterday, which means the chemistry of the sap has changed and the syrup is no longer good.

We have a total of 18 barrels, we made 60% of our usual crop. Most of the sugar makers that we have been talking to, have made 50-60% of a crop.

The weather has begun to change back to seasonal temperatures, but unfortunately it is too late for the sugar makers.
