Once a week during maple syruping season, I stroll down to the Sugar Shack to get an update on syruping operations from Farmer Jim. He's been syruping in New Jersey for many years, and he says this is only the second year ever he's still been boiling sap in April. The first time was last year.
With the weather finally turning warmer, Jim thinks next week will be the last week for collecting sap.
I also checked in with Syrup Finisher Danielle and she said this year is shaping up to be an average year in terms of production. It will fall short of last year's record setting haul, but will be much better than the worst years on record.
