Yes! It is so fun. We look forward to it every year. Getting ready to pull taps here though. We had a couple of warm days and the trees are budding up. Got about 105 gallons this year.
Cool video showing the entire process. I'm glad you included the metal buckets as well. Growing up in upstate NY this was a way to make extra money as a kid. Gathering sap buckets. I'll take that job over bailing & throwing hay anytime 👍
Thank you! The kids love checking under the lid and seeing the sap drip in. That's a cool job for a kid, and we don't see to many buckets around here any more. Mostly lines or the bags.
That was very interesting and educational. I honestly hadn’t considered how maple syrup was made and that is awesome. Also your roast looked amazing and very tender.
Thank you! So happy to hear this because I wasn't sure how this video would go over. A bit different from my other videos, but it was fun to shoot. 💚💚💚
Devon, that was sure interesting. I imagine the smells that come off of the water being boiled away are something else. I'm glad you can operate a drill. lol.
Me and my young son have tapped our lone silver maple now for several years here in our subdivision and he enjoys “the old ways” as well as eating the syrup!
Hey Paul! Thanks this was a fun one to shoot and edit. We love joking around with each other and it makes it fun. I just googled bread sauce. Never heard of that, but it looks good! Take care 💚 - Devon
Hi devon we have always had bread sauce with pork didnt realise until you said you hadn't heard of it ..it was an English tradition no wonder .but pork potatoes and bread sauce is lovely heres a recipe thats simple .tastes alot better than it looks lol its a thick sauce also goes with turkey but mainly pork we pour it over everything try make a little see what you think x www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/easy_bread_sauce_26387
Hi Devon you look absolutely beautiful tonight!!!🥰🥰 another very interesting video I really enjoyed it!!!! That BBQ LOOKS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS 😋!!!! Thanks again sweetheart....
Great video! Isn't this the best spring activity? We're in the midst of our season too. I love walking outside and can smell a bit of sugar in the air!
Yes and thank you! It’s a nice transition between between winter and spring. We really warmed up this week, but hopefully we’ll get another run or two.
Just found your channel so looking forward to more videos. Love maple syrup and had no idea the effort and skill involved in the process. How to a buy some? Joe from over the pond in Scotland
You should be able to find real maple syrup in Scotland! It'll likely be from Canada, since they're the biggest producer. Try health food/organic stores if you can't find it in a normal supermarket.
Awesome thank you, Joe! It takes a bit of work, but luckily we are able to have fun at the same time. I'd love to send you some, but would probably cost more to ship than the actual syrup. I hope you get it try it though. Excellent in coffee and tea. -Devon
@@HomegrownPassion we are not having a great sap year here, temperatures haven’t been right. It’s a bit underwhelming! Looks like you guys are having a good season tho :)
@@HomegrownPassion were are from Connecticut. The season has been slow up until two days ago which had about a 4 gallon flow per tree. Unfortunately it warmed up and this may be our last boil if it doesn’t freeze again
Thank you! We devoured that after a long day in the woods haha. So maple candy is made by boiling it down a bit more than syrup, beating it with a mixer, and pouring it into molds to cool.
Thank you! I just Googled Manitoba maples. That is really interesting. We call them box elders and have a few on the farm. I agree, homemade is the best!
That’s a good question! When figuring that we count taps not tree’s. Some tree’s have two or more taps on them. It also depends on the weather and season, how much a tap could produce each run. The run in this video we averaged 1.7 gallons of sap per tap. Last year for the whole season we averaged 1/5 of a gallon of syrup per tap. No we do not plug holes the tree heals itself on it’s own.
That’s still cool! My parents used make syrup when I was growing up but became too busy to keep doing it. So they did the same thing for awhile. Just a few trees to make enough for themselves and dad rigged up a little gas burner.
With a Normal tree, how much sap can u get ina season? Or do they only last a month or so? Curious because you seem to have a ton towards the end of didn’t know what the yield for one good tree would be. Thank you a!
@@HomegrownPassion I live in Texas, was in Eastern Ohio working for an oil and gas company doing research title work and bought some , it is very good but kinda expensive but worth it.
@@redsammy7789 Glad you got to try some. It sure is different than the fake stuff. It is definitely more expensive, I think they sell a gallon for $45.
We’re in Ohio about half way between Cleveland and Columbus. It’s been flowing well, but we have a warm week ahead of us. Didn’t get too much light stuff this year.
@@HomegrownPassion yes for sure I just wish I had a bigger evaporator mine is the hobby size been wanting o up grade to a 2 by 6 or 3 by 8 but other things always come up lol
cant u jusst boil it down till it thickens a bit and starts to darken? i just wanna do a lil bit with my daughter to try it..do i really need a hydrometer to do it?
Sure. when we first started, we used to boil small batches in a turkey roaster in the driveway. Boil it down as much as you think then transfer the syrup into a pan and finish off on the stove. Only advice is don't boil too much in the house. The steam and the sticky residue is not good for the inside of your house.
@@HomegrownPassion thanku..the turkey fryer is exactly what i planned on using..why does everyone seem to use a pan instead of a pot? is it necessary ? if so could i use a basic aluminum throw away pan or would the flame on the stove burn through that or burn the syrup? thanx for your advice
I’ve heard of maple shine before but I’ve never seen it. I know it’s really good in some mixed drinks and can be substituted for honey in mead recipes.
Very nice video however I do have some advice to prevent leaks I wouldn’t ream those hole out like that just once in and out is all u need … also make sure ur tap is at a 90 rather then the 45…. I live here in Vermont and work for a company that does this large scale (we have 500k taps) organically
1.) Will the tree repair itself when a person drills a hole into the tree? 2.) Does drilling at an upward angle help the sap run any better? 3.) How deep of a hole is needed, especially in a Pine tree? 4.) Can a person visit the farm and learn first-hand how to tap a tree - in a way that it will not cause permanent damage to the tree?
We only tap maple trees. The hole is 5/16 and only drilled about a 1.5 into the tree. Hole never drilled in the same spot from the year before. The tree heals itself very quickly. If you have some maple trees on our property... tap them and have fun!
You're not far at all. We are in Ashland County towards the Wayne County line. If you ever make it over here, let me know! There's plenty of syrup ready.
It can if a tree is tapped to young or has to many taps put on in a season. Making maple syrup goes back to Native Americans and if done right won’t harm the tree’s life span.
It’s supposed to help if you drill north south east west every following year, then move to a higher level. When you return to the low level the tree should be and inch or so thicker and healed. 3/16 tubes also heal quicker than 5/16
No we definitely don’t want to do that. They follow good practices and make sure their taps are clean and they only tap trees that are big enough to heal themselves. There’s a guide on how many taps can go on a tree based on diameter and they stay on the conservative side.
Yep here's my channel. I do a lot of hydroponic greenhouse videos, but have some farming and cattle stuff too. ruclips.net/channel/UCJJMdtgmbFgQJ7ONbtbfDBg
For sure I need to do that! I actually just got a jug. The first stuff was sold as soon as it came off the evaporator. I found this thing called a pork fatty on RUclips. It’s pretty crazy, it’s sausage and eggs wrapped in bacon and smoked. Making it this week with a maple glaze.
We have 1800 taps and a RO it saves a ton of time and firewood..we boil on a 2x8 evaporator and get 7 to 9 gallons of finished syrup per hour.we had 3150 tapsfor years but lost that sugarbush to two bad storms.a wind storm with 100 plus mph winds and a ice storm.at that bush we just had a old school 6x16 evaporator.
Where is the fun in this? No hand auger, no steel spiles with a hanger, no buckets to empty into the tank on the horse drawn sledge ! I know you have to do it this way for commercial reasons, but damn, it takes the fun out of sugaring ! Guess I am showing my age LOL

thats awsome we havnt tapped for two years been too busy
Thanks and yeah it’s definitely takes time to do. We used to make syrup when I was growing up, but they don’t have time now.
I was wondering if deer raise havoc with the feeder tubes running from tree to tree?
Not so much the deer but the squirrels are a bit of a problem
That was interesting. How much sap can you get from each tree and using your system, how do you know? Also, do you plug all the holes afterward?
That’s a good question! When figuring that we count taps not tree’s. Some tree’s have two or more taps on them. It also depends on the weather and season, how much a tap could produce each run.

@@klinefarms4815 a rule of thumb that i was told is...1 litre of finished syrup for every tap ..on average...nice set up you have...
Where can I buy some of your syrup?
They sell right off the farm. We don't have an online store or anything. If you ever make it to Ashland County in Ohio, let me know.
Looks like at least one of your little helpers was pretty tired❤️

so much depends on weather and size of tree. You are going to need to tap a few to get syrup is what I would say.
That looks like a very profitable operation.
They get enough to sell throughout the year and have some for family. It's really good stuff!

"Those of us that get to send steam to heaven are blessed"
Great quote! Do you make syrup? Such a fun activity.
I have 50 years of commercially making maple syrup and my dad has 70 years..
We,re late this year but the tapping has began..we have around 600 tapped..and slowly headed for 1800.
1.) Will the tree repair itself when a person drills a hole into the tree?
2.) Does drilling at an upward angle help the sap run any better?
3.) How deep of a hole is needed, especially in a Pine tree?

Its maple syrup, you put on pancakes . it is very expensive and very good.
