Wow, that's a LOT of work sitting pretty right there! How many hours do you think you invest per bottle of it?

I haven't been able to check the weather forecast because our power has been out and now I am running getting ready for work but we still have a foot out there and there is more on our cleared driveway again.
I am not sure how much time but first a person has to tap all the trees and then collect the sap and then it is forty gallons of sap to one gallon of syrup! So there is all the boiling down too! We didn't do any boiling yesterday. So, now you know why real Maple Syrup is so expensive!

In order to sell it has to be a certain grade. We're just rudimentary syruping hicks right now and play guessing games with it so it can't be sold. Sorry! But yes Titus has a good suggestion. Thanks for the offer!

Goodness gracious - what a time y'all are having! First all that snow, and then no electricity! Hopefully things will start warming up for you now!

Re: Really?
Yep! We got it too, here in Indiana.
I knew we were going to have early winter. Glad I got the rest of my green tomatoes in last night.
Just a barely sprinkling on the ground. but looks like 1/2 to 1 inch on top of cars.

I didn't get all my tomatoes in but I have Raynauds and getting out in the cold is really hard on my hands. So, I guess they'll just have to get plowed under...

Re: Really?
Yikes! No snow here yet... although we usually get our first around the second week of November... got my tomatoes in a couple of weeks ago. Still needing to gather up all my outdoor decor and winterize it, and get everything ready for Old Man Winter... he's coming soon...
Here, the tamaracks are turning yellow but haven't lost their leaves yet... my grandmother always would say that when the tamarack trees lost their leaves, the snow would fly... and it always held true.
Do you have tamaracks where you live?
