Chaotic moments before a swarm took flight… for the follow up episode I’ll show you how we herded up our absconding livestock 😆

It was a bee-utiful weekend to spend time to work on honey bee things! Made and painted more boxes, made more splits, grafted queens, and fortunately caught our own swarm as we happened to be there when it happened! We are happy to only have had one swarm as we have been working very hard to mitigate the risk. Everyone looks to be healthy, happy, and loving some long awaited nice weather!! 🍯🐝❤️

Moving the Honeybees from the home yards to spring/summer pastures and it certainly seems more like winter today! Bring on the dandelions and apple blossoms!! ❤️🍯🐝

We are happy to support our local Penn Yan Agriculture and FFA and also so very proud to have two active FFA members as part of our maple crew! 🍁

Maple season has officially wrapped up for us! 🍁

Our students have submitted a sample for the NY Ag in the Classroom Backyard Sugaring Competition, and we’re excited to see how it stacks up!

A huge THANK YOU to Keuka Maple for helping us filter our syrup—we were able to send in a beautiful, crystal-clear sample thanks to your support!

From tapping trees, to collecting sap, to boiling and bottling, students were involved every step of the process. Hands-on learning at its best! 👏

Maple Weekend along with the maple production season 2026 is a wrap here at Keuka Maple! We are thankful to all that came out for a visit over the past 2 weekends and are forever grateful to our family and friends who helped make maple weekend a success!

From visiting with return customers (including the #1 maple fan at large who has his maple syrup EVERY DAY😄) to singing Happy Birthday for a little lady celebrating her very first birthday, meeting new friends from near (nearly neighbors even!) and far, to chatting about the goings on of the sap world with some fellow sugarmakers, we have had a most amazing couple of weeks! We just can’t thank you all enough for coming out for a visit!

Our production season is now over as the trees being to bud and we are proud to report our best year ever. We hauled in over 32,000 gallons of sap, made nearly 500 gallons of syrup, and didn’t blow up a single pump or generator 😅💪. The roadside stand will be stocked through the year because of being blessed with a good season and some great help with the workload in the woods from C**t, Carter, Blake, and Wyatt! ❤️🍁

After having such a great weekend for our open house last weekend, we decided to go check out some of the New York open houses today. The first stop in Hammondsport was a bust. Place was locked up tighter than a drum despite being listed on the NYS Maple Weekend Tour. After leaving a bit little disappointed, we found ourselves in Branchport, NY at Keuka Maple which is 100% authentic. These folks clearly are hardworking, dedicated and passionate sugarmakers. We enjoyed our visit and are happy to be able to make the trip. If anyone knows these folks, feel free to pass this post along.
