MAPLE SYRUP
MAPLE SYRUP IS SOLD OUT!!!
Maple Syrup
I’ve made maple syrup for over 40 years now. It is a costly, time-consuming process since the tree produces maple sap at around 2% sugar content and one needs to boil over 43 gallons of that sap in order to get a gallon of syrup. My syrup is made from my own trees. Maple Syrup is unique in that the plant that produces the sugar is not harvested and requires no fertilizer or pesticides in order for it to be produced. It is naturally an organic product.
I have a sugar bush (lots of Sugar Maple trees) on my property and link the trees by tubing to a central collecting point. I then concentrate the sap using a reverse osmosis system and then boil it until it reaches 7 degrees Fahrenheit above pure water boiling temp for that day (boiling temperature varies dependent on, among other things, atmospheric pressure). The syrup is then filtered and bottled for sale.
I grade the syrup using standard industry approved grading. The grade that I have for sale is normally Dark Robust Flavor. It is all Grade A (actually, that designation isn't used anymore). What this means to you is that it is the best tasting maple syrup you have ever had! I'm not sure what I do that makes mine stand out flavor-wise over others but it does!
