Well the 2009 sugaring season has started!! Since we lost our horse last month we did get a chance to borrow one and they are hard at working helping to gather the sap and return it to the sugar house where Frank is busy boiling and canning!! He sure could use some help!! I haven't been able to this year. I sure do miss it but have more pressing things to tend to.
As stated on the front page, the prices will remain the same at least until May! Shocking but true!! Same great quality and taste but we like to keep our customers happy and especially with the bad economy, we want to keep our prices reasonable.
Tapping the trees this year was challenging since the snow was so deep. It has been getting cold at nights and warm during the day which is exactly what the sap needs to run. Just as long as it isn't too cold or too warm. It did get too cold a few days ago and the sap froze but luckily it warmed back up.
