Basic overview of boiling process Saturday and Sunday, Feb23 & 24 - Ecofarm Class; Set up sap lines and tap trees Participants will be entitled to a portion of maple syrup based on how much we end up producing and how much time you put in. Please note that we are looking for someone to either loan their truck on an occasional basis or to help haul various loads. Please contact me at 280-8498 or at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you have any questions or would like to carpool out for a workday.

After the blinking light, look for the big red barn on the left. The driveway is hidden, so watch out!
