Hi Ruth,

We only sugar for ourselves and friends. Started out as a home school
project for our son Carson and we just never quit. Once you've tasted the
real thing Aunt Jemima jus' don' make it. Best year in many. Probably boiled
down just over 100 gallons of sap so far and it's still running. We jar it
up before its syrup and then finish it all at once.

Can't wait to meet you at the IPTW in Barre!

Rudy

Rudy,  Glad to see someone else on here is sugarin'.  Where are you and how
is your season?  We are having an exceptionally good season, best in many
years.  Making all Lt. Amber so far.  My brother is the one who actually
does the sugaring but several others help out.  He's about out of wood and
when he is he can sell his sap to a friend down the road.  Season isn't
over yet.  Good luck,  Ruth


PS:  We call 'em cupolas also.
