Sugaring Off

The more there is to write about, the less time there is to write. Today was, (and still is, maybe for a couple more hours!) sugaring off day. We had been freezing the sap from 15 Manitoba maple trees for a couple of weeks now, and the freezer and the snowbanks were beyond capacity. So today we had a wood fire burning in the fire pit, starting at 9:00 in the morning, and we've shrunk 38 gallons of sap down to just a few. By the end of tonight, we'll have the finished product, probably in half-a-dozen jelly jars. I'll let you know what the end result was.

Many other exciting things are happening, but you'll have to hear about them another day. I should mention that in July, we are doing a little less intense tour, suited to kids on summer vacation, and we are accepting a little smaller groups. We also will not be taking bookings for August this year, so plan ahead to book in July. Please contact us with any questions at all.
