We have seen unprecedented sap flows due to the ideal temperature. We have run out of storage space twice necessitating nearly continuous boiling. In one week we have averaged over 10 gallons of sap per tap! This is as much as occurs in a whole season.
Our evaporator has consumed over 8 cord (4x4x8) of hardwood in an effort to keep up. It appears that this week will bring several more favorable days of syruping. We hope our wood supply remains adequate for the task at hand.
Any bottling will have to wait a couple more weeks as the season winds down. Check back for updates.
