How to prepare for the sap flow
Anyone who is interested in making maple syrup, should be prepared to:
1.) be spontaneous -- the sap flow is weather-dependent. Sap only flows when there are freezing nights and warm days. Without that, there is no sap, so if you want to come and help, you'll need to be flexible, watch the weather, and be ready as soon as the sap flows.
2.) be ready to get dirty -- it's the muddiest time of the year, so plan to play in the mud.
3.) have the right apparel -- boots, gloves (rubber or leather) a light jacket, sun glasses, a cap; remember, you're in the woods with lots of shrubs and branches which can swat you in the face if you're not careful
4.) enjoy the surroundings -- the birds are returning for the spring, the snow is melting, you're enjoying the company of friends, and the smell of boiling maple sap is heavenly.
5.) sleep well -- it's a lot of work, but it's a lot of fun, and you can be guaranteed that you'll sleep well that night.
6.) wake up early -- be sure to get up early enough the next morning to make pancakes topped with fresh maple syrup. Nothing can beat that!
Stay tuned, we'll keep you updated on what's happening at Sapsucker Farms this season and hope you have a happy sugaring season too!
