Made some tasty Dark syrup earlier today!

This is the instrument we use to indicate which grade of maple syrup we are making.

We fill a vial with the syrup we are filtering. The number indicates the percentage of light that is able to go through the syrup. This syrup, for instance, is allowing 31% of the light to pass through.

Golden- 100-75%
Amber- 74.9-50%
Dark- 49.9-25%
Very Dark- 24.9-0%

A common question from a lot of customers is if we cook the Dark syrup longer?

Dark syrup is the same density (sugar content) as golden. We do not cook it longer. The sap changes as the weather gets warmer. The ph level is lower, and there are more microbes present in the sap.

We take pride in keeping all our batches from each day separate. This allows every batch to have a bit of a different flavour every day. We also don't mix batches together, so we don't have an amber syrup but tasting like a dark syrup.

If you made it this far, congratulations, you must be supporting a local producer near you. If not, start now!

See you Saturday for pancakes

Just know that if you're not enjoying this snow, every sugarmaker is enjoying it.

You may ask why we like this colder weather?

The warmer the temperatures are without freezing at night, means the buds will soon be popping out, which then turn into leaves. This causes a very buddy(bitter) flavour in the syrup, which indicates the end of our season.

This colder weather extends our season so we can make alot more delicious syrup.

Look forward to seeing everyone Saturday morning for pancakes!

What a gorgeous evening to be boiling some sap.

Hope everyone is enjoying this lovely weather. We were sure thankful for some freezing in the evening to extend our season.

See you Saturday for pancakes 🥞 😋
