The sugar maple trees are tapped and sap is flowing!
Sugar from trees, the maple syrup is one of the first yields of the year from the natural capital at the homestead.
Ended up with a total of 116 taps this year, close to double the taps from last season. Last year I started tapping all the trees a week later (and I still missed a week of flow this year), not to mention it took me a couple weeks to get all the taps in. This year I managed get all the taps in over just a few days.
While it's hard work to prepare the equipment, tap the trees, and process the sap into syrup. It's the first opportunity to spend a lot of time outside in the woods getting exercise. We get all our sugar for the year from the trees growing on our land. I'm grateful we have the opportunity to glean all the benefits and yeilds the process of maple sugaring offers and to have such wonderful trees in our own backyard.
