Mansfield Public Schools treated their students to our maple syrup. I'm sure for many of them, it was the first time they got to taste real maple syrup as compared to the high fructose fake syrup most people use.

Mansfield Middle School students were treated to a sweet treat last week when they sampled pure maple syrup and learned that it is a traditional food of native Americans. Consumer and Life Science class grade 5 students tried a taste, and all MMS students enjoyed barbequed pulled chicken with maple sweet potatoes at lunch—a tasty combination of sweet and tangy. The maple syrup was produced by Bats of Bedlam Maple Farm in nearby Chaplin.

The tasting is part of UConn Extension’s Put Local On Your Tray's new cultural campaign series, “From this Land: Honoring Native Foods.” Local artist Dawn Spears, a native Narragansett from Rhode Island, created original artwork presenting traditional lore about maple syrup which is featured on activity sheets distributed to schools. Pure maple syrup is a great local food, and widely available at many local Mansfield shops, Storrs Farmers Market and at local farm stores.

I’m worried about my brother who lives in Fort Myers, Florida. His condo is on the ground floor.

Yesterdays 2000 gallons of sap took us 4 hours and 20 minutes to make about 35 gallons of syrup. RO and steamaway make this so efficient.

We are processing 2000 gallons of sap today. 1775 gallons yesterday. Making lots of nice maple tasting robust syrup.
