The Maple Bug

Journal

My wife and I raised our children in the suburbs, but always dreamed of fresh air and land. In 2013 we were blessed enough to purchase a new property- one that happened to be filled with maple trees. I remember walking through the woods with my wife and children (and one grandchild) and thinking of ways we could make use of all the beautiful sugar maples that stood tall and proud on this land. Life got busy, and a few years went by. Until one day my son and daughter in law showed up with sap buckets and taps. I guess you can say the rest is history.

This coming spring will be our 5th year tapping trees and boiling sap. We are looking forward to another year of providing maple syrup for our family, friends, community and you.
