Well, so much for winter! The last couple weeks of warm winds and melting snow have heralded the arrival of "Sugar Season" on the Bay of Fundy....maple sugar season! Many families like ours have been tapping sugar maples for generations.Our family has been making maple products here in the upper part of the Bay of Fundy for over 100 years. We only tap about 4000 trees (fairly small amount compared with other farms) but that's enought to keep our family, our town, our visitors and quite a few restaurants elsewhere in the province supplied with real maple syrup.
By the way, we jokingly call imitation table syrup telephone pole syrup since it compares that unfavourably with the real stuff!
Your site is great! Here is a video I did of a ample syrup operation near the Gaspereau valley.
