| Our first tree we tapped! |
We are making maple syrup over here! Ben tapped 5 trees a couple days ago and we had our first batch of maple syrup two days later.
For every 40 gallons of sap collected it will yield 1 gallon of syrup. Our first try we collected 7 gallons of sap, boiled that all down to about 3 cups of maple syrup and from our own property! How fun!!

| Our boiling process: we start in the big silver tray and move the sap to the smaller red pot as that boils down. |
