Maple syrup is the sap or liquid gathered from a maple tree during the early spring thaw. As the trees start to warm up, they wake and start to absorb water from the ground to start their yearly growth cycle. While this maple water or sap flows from the tree into a spout, it brings along a small amount of sugar with it from the tree, about 1%-2%.

This sap traveled sometimes miles down an intricate tubing set up (some syrup is still done the traditional way with buckets on a tree) and enters the sugarhouse. At the sugarhouse, the sap is boiled down until it creates a sweet sticky substance called syrup. It takes 40-50 gallon of sap to make 1 gallon a maple syrup. Imagine a whole wine barrel condensed to 1 gallon.

Maple production is labor-intensive, and a very hard lifestyle, as the sugar makers are out in temperature below zero on a daily bases, throughout the winter.

Unlike bleached sugar, maple sugar is full of antioxidants, falling between raw carrots, and raw cabbage. Maple syrup also contains a higher value in the % of recommended daily value in manganese, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and potassium than brown sugar, and even honey.

4. Ecologically sensitive areas, if present, must be identified in the plan and shall be protected. Habitat for wildlife species, including amphibians, birds, aquatic life and mammals, must be addressed in the plan. The plan may address the preservation or improvement of habitat for rare or endangered species.
5. The number of roads must be kept to a minimum and located to minimize damage to roots from soil compaction.
6. Tap distribution to maintain the health of the maple tree.

Vinegar is essentially fermented liquid. “Over time, when natural-occurring bacteria called acetobacters combine with oxygen in the fermented liquid, it creates acetic-acid, also known as vinegar. Some people believe that vinegar was first discovered by accident when a barrel of wine was stored too long and turned sour. Read more about the history of vinegar.

We have found through experimenting that these barrels impart little to now flavor on the fermented maple itself, it tends to mellow out those rougher edges, and provide a one-of-a-kind product to work with.
