The results of syruping season are starting to trickle in. To date this season, about 31 gallons of syrup have been bottled, with more still to come.
An average year at the farm is about 50 gallons of syrup. Farmer Jim thinks we just might make it to the average, or perhaps fall a little short. Last year, at 76 gallons of syrup, was the all-time record.
With warm days and freezing nights, the sap continues to flow, though it's gradually getting darker and darker as the season winds on.
There was a good amount of activity in the Sugar House this morning, as Farmer Jim poured off another draw of syrup at 219 degrees, and Farmer Rob came with a delivery of sap from the sugarbush to pump into the holding tank.
