Gathering Sap in Cold Rain... First Maple Syrup of the Season

After a long day at work we headed into the woods in 42° pouring rain to gather sap. The trees had run hard that day and the buckets were completely full, so the sap had to be collected before we lost it. We carried heavy 5-gallon pails of sap through the woods until it got too dark to see, then fired up the evaporator at the sugar house and started boiling. After hours of boiling sap and feeding the fire, we finally made our first batch of maple syrup of the season. The next day we celebrated the best way we know how… with a pancake dinner and fresh maple syrup. But now warm weather is moving in, and it might threaten the rest of the maple season. Stay tuned for the next episode of our maple syrup series! #maplesyrup #maple
