how many gallons of sap = one gallon of syrup
stainless on the exterior
collecting tank
all done in clear tubes with a vacuum and a very high tech system inside.
outside
north country sugar season
or mud season
hand made paper, shifu, artists' books, north country living, and some words
V-that is a serious number of sap containers to get one of syrup.But makes one value the final product a little more. B
ReplyDeleteHi Velma - I think I like your approach better - much more direct and satisfying! Still it's pretty cool to have maple syrup on tap, literally. we buy ours in bottles you guys package and send over here!
ReplyDeletewhen we first moved here there were the rusty remains of a sugar house in the woods, long rusted to nothing now. rural archaeology. i'm glad you know maple syrup!
ReplyDeletewow, such a strange pipeline for a slow drip
ReplyDeletekinda spooky in the woods.
ReplyDeleteYeah, those tubes are weird to me...I know it is more convenient but...and then you can't ride your horse through either! xo
ReplyDeleteOh no, another childhood illusion crushed. But I still love the stuff.
ReplyDeletecait and alice, i comfort myself with knowing that MY gallon of syrup came out of MY trees and NOT into plastic tubes!
