over 900 taps. We tap a combination of Red Maple and Sugar Maple
trees. Sap is collected with a vacuum tubing system and sap ladders. We reduce boiling time by utilizing a reverse osmosis machine to remove water from the sap. Currently we can use both oil and natural gas to fire our 3x8 Algier evaporator
which is fitted with air injectors that speed boiling. Our farm produces maple syrup, maple cream, maple candy,
maple cotton candy, maple sugar, maple cream filled chocolates and
"maple sweetheart" suckers. Our Maple Products are available year around. Samples
