Several years ago one of my late husband's colleagues moved into an old farm 
house - complete with a sugar bush and some old maple syrup making equipment in 
a nearby small town called Avon.   A group of the guys decided to "go into the 
business" and began by building a new sugar shanty.  It wasn't long before they 
got things going and produced a lot of syrup - in fact, they marketed it in 
special jugs with special labels to a local supermarket.  School groups used to 
go there to be shown how it was done and sample the wares.  They even sewed up 
a flag to be flown over the bush - it had ASS on it - Avon Syrup Society - and 
I still have and treasure that flag.  Fran

...looking forward to the March "sugaring off" season.
