Maple season at Hemlock Ridge Farm!
We know that our hill is cold, so we start tapping in early March, Kelvin and I enjoyed an afternoon date, then Madeline and Kelvin finished the following day. We tapped about 500, have boiled 4 times so far, only needing to fire for 6 hours each time. We've made more 40 gallon so far, golden, rich, buttery syrup. We'll have plenty of maple syrup in stock in the farm store, in glass and plastic half gallons for $28.00/ea, and quarts for $16.00. Thanks to all you lovely people who source your syrup from our family. Pictured: Caroline was so happy that the sap ran on the weekend, so she could help her dad milk cows and tend the evaporator. #
