I grew up on pure maple syrup and there is absolutely nothing that can compare to the real deal. My dad would heat a quart of pure maple syrup and add walnuts to it then pour it over homemade vanilla ice cream.
My mom convinced us that it was so absurdly expensive that only rich people could afford it. She gave me a bottle for my birthday one year because I had asked about real maple syrup. I lived it then it ran out and she went right back to mes Butterworth. Then as an adult I realized that you could get a jug of syrup that would last months for about what a hamburger would cost.😊😊
@@pullingthestrings5233 That's a terrible comparison. A better car comparison would be a luxurious and reliable Lexus (the maple syrup) Vs a battered unreliable Ford that runs terribly (the high fructose corn syrup). Seriously, how can you possibly think the horrible fake processed stuff is better than the natural REAL stuff?
I just tasted it for the first time in my life and WOW why did I wait so long, well price is one reason, I paid £4.75 = $5.77 for 250ml. it is sweet but not sickly with a mellow wood taste with some other flavourings I've never tasted before, it will go on my porridge tonight, reading its food values it is like Pop-eyes spinach and the energy levels are off the scale, pure energy from a natural source with no preservatives, colourants, stabilisers or E-Numbers, just as nature made it, maple trees must be fast growers !
Seems the price is the same worldwide, bought a bottle of imported Maple Syrop 250ml for $5 in South Africa today as well. It tastes just as you described.
@@tonypepperoni3157 understandable! The scale needed today in any production is quite unique. Here’s to hoping the demand for maple syrup continues to rise as others have to slow sugar farming due to pollution.
That's wonderful! I have just one big maple tree, and I've finally resolved to tap it this year. Haven't started boiling the sap yet, but I'd already say it's worth it. 😄
I never purchased real maple syrup until I was in my 30s because of the price difference. Finally did one day out of curiosity and wow was there a difference. Never going back.
I used to think that maple syrup is bad for health and unnatural until I saw this video now. I have never tried it, but I will try to purchase the authentic one from Canada.
We tapped one tree in back yard when I was young. I loved sap cold...okay that was long time ago. Now that I am adult my taste buds just dont jive with maple syrup. I honestly dont understand the hype...the video was very informative and interesting. Def takes alot of work to make it in any grand capacity. Kudos. Constantly told Im not a real Vermonter...maybe not but I was born here and lived here whole life. Sure not everyone in Mexico loves Agave either. Do know maple is super good for you
Hy i m from Croatia and i just inwentet the sweatnes of this syrup and i wantet to google how it get produces and what it is anyway. and i m really impressed ind happy to see such a Family running this business. god bless you all
Wow Allahumma sholli wa sallim wa baarikh ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa'ala ali Sayyidina Muhammadin fil awwalin wal aakhirin wa fil mala'il a'laa ilaa Yaumiddin
Not yet. But in any case, maple season is roughly March-April. It needs to get below freezing at night and warm during the day for sap to run. Once the trees burgeon, maple season is over.
wouldn't you be worried about potentially spreading disease through an entire forest? You've essentially connected the 'veins' of every single tree and let the 'blood' flow freely past each other. It would be like getting and doling out blood donations from every single volunteer with no background check.
@@danielleN101 no they're connected through the mycorrhizal network and that *doesn't* transfer sap between trees. I think maybe you read a poorly worded explanation of it, the roots of trees aren't joined like conjoined twins. For your understanding maybe imagine like, a tandem skydiving harness. They are physically connected, tied together by something which isn't a part of their body, can communicate more easily, can send nutrients more easily(think handing eachother a snack bar) but there is no direct exchange of fluid.
@@danielleN101 Plants can also communicate by releasing chemicals through their roots. However again, the roots are not connected to do this. It would be like the equivalent of human speech. You send out a "message" to a nearby human. Or in this case from one tree to another. Talking happens without fluid exchange. Same idea for trees.

The difference between store bought maple syrup in UK and Canada is crazy, only like it if it's Canadian
That sounds amazing
@blaisemacpherson7637 where are you getting your maple syrup? It's about $15-20 per 32 FL oz if you're lucky.
Vermont maple syrup is LITERALLY THE BEST OMG!!!!!! My friend brought me 2 bottles So GOOD Once you have real maple syrup nothing else compares!!!!!!
High fructose corn syrup is way better 😅

My family were sugar makers in Vermont. I remember tapping the trees as a young kid
Mine too. My family used to own a company called American Maple, which supplied LL Bean (when they used to sell maple in their catalogues).
How come y’all stopped?
@@TwentyHz wasn’t a large operation just local/not enough of a demand compared to actual companies

I love Vermont maple syrup 😋 and the creemee's are soooo yummy
I’m here because I am eating pancakes with maple syrup right now
Same 😅
Im drinking straight out of the bottle
@@amireal5458 even better
Same here 😂😂😂

Thanks for that video. Never knew how maple syrup was collected, now I do. Looks like a very relaxing rewarding type of work.
Coffee+maple syrup on pancakes=perfect Canadian breakfast!
I have some maple trees and bought some taps and buckets, going to try to make mine own...
That's wonderful! I have just one big maple tree, and I've finally resolved to tap it this year. Haven't started boiling the sap yet, but I'd already say it's worth it. 😄
Just had some maple syrup from Canada so 👍 Great set up..nice work.
Hello, nice to meet you all, and thank you for the video!
Maple syrup + Pancakes = Heaven
A pint of icecream on the side with maple syrup in there too! 😋.
I never purchased real maple syrup until I was in my 30s because of the price difference. Finally did one day out of curiosity and wow was there a difference. Never going back.
As a native Vermonter, that’s how you gotta roll! Accept no substitutes, ever!
I used to think that maple syrup is bad for health and unnatural until I saw this video now. I have never tried it, but I will try to purchase the authentic one from Canada.
This is so good! 🙌 beautiful!
Are the vacuum lines sucking the sap from the trees or is the sap naturally dripping out?
Hey I'm from Newhampshire which is right next to Vermont we also do alot of maple syrup making as well, the sap just falls out.
Canadian maple syrup #1❤🎉
Can maple trees be planted in a country without a winter season?
As a native Vermonter, REAL MAPLE SYRUP is how I roll, period!
When we go out for brunch my wife and I always smuggle a small flask of pure maple syrup in case the restaurant only has the log cabin stuff
My 7 year old really wants to make maple syrup.
Vermont maple syrup! I'm getting it for sure
Great. Thank you.
Omg I love this

Im hearing canada maple syrup shortage is that right
Everyone is right when they say once you try the real stuff you will never enjoy “pancake syrup” again.

Wouldn’t you have to worry about wildlife running through the lines?
Do you give tours?
Is it winter already there? :O
Not yet. But in any case, maple season is roughly March-April. It needs to get below freezing at night and warm during the day for sap to run. Once the trees burgeon, maple season is over.
@@AuskaDezjArdamaath Nice
Great extraction
Do you have trouble with deer or bears tearing up your sap lines?
Oh before this video I didn't realise how sustainable it was. I had no idea trees heal up
Winter came early this year eh?
Ye I wonder that aswell :D
I cant get over the spilling bottle in the beginning of the vid lol
Can you reuse the diatomaceous earth?
How does a single bumbling deer not take out operations for a month?
Once you have the pure stuff there’s no going back 😩😩😩
Did they say they only produce 200 gallons a year?
So, they add white sugar to the mix ??
Only real maple syrup for my family
delicious what the tree maple life the snow taiga
Just bought one today, importerd from Canada, very runny unlike honey but but i like it. Will try the fake one next, lol.
Can ve added to coffee instead of sugar?
We need some June!!!
I was thinking the same thing! It’s been too long.. we need a dose of June!!

Mon bazou is accurate huh
i was looking for this comment lol
12,000 to 200... 60:1 😮
I'm from Ohio and while maple syrup over there isn't as renown as that of Vermont or Canada, I learned early on that "pancake syrup" is blasphemy!
Tal procedimiento termina matando el arbol
Interesting
Woww
Wowza inflation just two years ago just $10 for a 16oz bottle it's now double in price to $20. SMH
Aren't all those plastic pipes strung through the woods a risk to wildlife?
🥰🥰🥰
if u one time eat this u dont never Honey eat
You are arguing wid #a very sophisticated mind #works
What’s All This Whooplah About Vermont Maple Syrup? 🤨
Lost me at plastic tubes, next
Vermont Maple syrup taste Like cat pee...get the Canadian good stuff.
Quit buying that Canadian garbage and buy American maple syrup.
SMH poor trees. We truly are parasites.
bro the trees arent harmed when u sap tap it. these trees have been tapped literally every year for the past 15 years
the trees are alive and well, its why the keep producing sap. if they werent, they wouldnt produce sap.
If you are worried about this then you shouldn't ever step on grass
SMH poor grass. Stepping on it, we truly are parasites 🤡🤡🤡
Does this hurt the tree?
