Wow, this sure is wacky weather! We’ve been busy in the sugar bush installing a new mainline and taps and got caught in this early spring-like weather that left us scrambling to get all of our equipment ready for the maple season.

We started tapping trees on January 31, the earliest we’ve ever tapped – I said that last year when tapping started on February 4. Looking back over the past few weeks, did we even have a winter? Lesson learned over the past 2 years, we need to be ready for the maple syrup season earlier than normal.

My hope is for those very warm days to stay away for a few more weeks which I know isn’t a popular opinion but we need +5°C through the day and -5°C at night to keep the sap flowing in the trees. A little snow on the ground would be nice too!

OurSugarBush Maple Days are coming soon so please follow our facebook page for dates and times for the next pancake opportunity. We love sharing our maple goodness with our family and friends.

We sure appreciate your support of our small farming business.

Hi Maple friends!

Our maple season is just about ready to start!

We have been busy working in the bush for weeks now, getting wood cut and cleaning up fallen trees and brush, the never ending jobs that we really enjoy. Now it’s time to get the trees tapped and get that sap flowing through the sap lines to the tanks, through the reverse osmosis, pumped over to the cabin into the evaporator over the fire and transformed into the sweet maple goodness that we all love. What a journey for the slightly sweet sap that the maple trees offer us every spring. Yum!

As the provincial restriction lift, we are making plans on how we can welcome our maple loving friends back into OurSugarBush to enjoy the most wonderful time of the year! Our Maple Days will be held on weekends, weather permitting, for outdoor self tours and of course, pancakes! We won’t be able to seat you in the cabin to enjoy your pancakes due to that pesky virus but hope to have picnic tables outside with some warmth from a campfire. Stay tuned to our social media for dates and times.

The trees are almost tapped and we are waiting for the weather to warm up a bit for the sap to get flowing so we can get going! We need the freezing and thawing temperature to be about +5°C during the day and – 5°C at night for the maple magic to begin, hopefully soon!

As always, thanks for your support of our small farming business.

I ♥ Maple!
