I will ABSOLUTELY watch every single video! I am completely intrigued. Making true Maple Syrup!! Fascinating!! Thank you, Warren!! For sharing.

The sound of when the Tap has reached its set point is very satisfying for me, it's solid sounding.

Have you ever pull a sled to carry all the tap lines ect. as well as a place to put your coat when you take it off.

@garyschacht5032 5 месяцев назад

Love your videos Nikki! Love the Q&A opportunity also! I’m surprised to see you tapping so high, is that normal? Does a tree ever get “tapped out” to the point you can’t tap it anymore? Does your maple farm have a store that you can actually visit or do you plan one in the future? Wishing you, your family and business a successful maple season!

@kbittorf335 5 месяцев назад

We don‘t dare tap in Wisconsin at this time😮. I tapped in late February once and the first week of March did not get above freezing and the pores sealed shut, nothing ran after it warmed up. I had to redo every tap just removing enough material to open the pores again and then they produced again. Double the work. This was with the bucket system. It could be different with pipeline. Great video! Gets me in the maple mood!👍

I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts comparing the 2 tappers. We got a few exact taps and I’ve spent some time using both.

@qcan8468 5 месяцев назад

Question for you. Has Boxler Maple ever had a season with zero or very little syrup production? If so was it weather dependent, equipment, or manpower issues? My neighbor sugars here in VT with sap collected locally from our trees and other neighbors. However last year he had to pause to be a caregiver. Plans are for the steam to be rising this year.

Great video as always. Lets hope for a great season ..We have roughly 25k trees to tap. We did 5k in 4 days this week. It's a long process. Then when the the sap flows and the vacuum comes up we find all the tree rat damage. Lol It's allot of work but we enjoy it..

@keithpreston6968 5 месяцев назад

You definitely have to be able to troubleshoot your electrical and other issue yourself. There s no time to call and wait for service people to show up in the thick of the harvest. That’s where farmers are at their best

@Ken_Leivonen 5 месяцев назад

Hi Nikki, thanks for taking us along with your tapping, I guess I missed in an earlier video that you changed the drop lines this year. I remember you carrying a bundle around on your back installing them in years past. I didn’t realize that the sap would start to run right after a freeze. May you can explain how that all works, why does it take a freeze and thawing to get the sap to run. Where is the sap before the freeze. Basically how does the tree produce the sap? Ken

@timwilcoxsr2712 5 месяцев назад

That wind was awful, being that I am close to you I understand what you mean. Do you guys burn firewood ?

@billherrick3569 5 месяцев назад

I Enjoy your videos. Do you mark old tap holes so in several years down the road you don't tap into healed over wood? (Especially on the two tap trees.) I have not and now that I am 10 yrs in to my current bush I think it is an issue.

@matthewnasci2646 5 месяцев назад

I understand the business aspect (concept) of your maple farm, but I think that most, if not all producer's origins are from traditional sugaring off passed down through generations. Directly or indirectly. I'm a back yard producer (17 years active, on hiatus for 4 ) with no aspirations of becoming commercial but I like to learn and understand the functions of a large operation like yours. The modernization of the industry is fascinating. Thanks to your content I am familiar with some of the mechanics of it and will continue to watch because sugaring is in my blood. Subscibed, from Verona NY.

@AlexMakesMaple 5 месяцев назад

Interested in yours and Warrens option on the exact tap after tapping with it. This will be my first year with my precision tapper. Are there any other tools that really add value in the woods?

@johnhelms8226 5 месяцев назад

Does maple syrup express terroir like wine? Can you distinguish by taste between New York, Vermont, and Quebec syrup?

@kbittorf335 5 месяцев назад

I don‘t think so. It has more to do with how it is refined as well as the quality of the sap I believe. Early season sap from my experiences produces a very light colored, delicate syrup. As the season goes on the sugar content decreases and darker, sometimes used motor oil like syrup is produced. The sap quality degrades as temperatures become warmer and it is under fire for a longer period of time. Although with their steam evaporator now I am sure the quality across the board has improved.

@larrywiegel1015 5 месяцев назад

Nikki why don’t you double tap every tree? It looked like there were some big trees that weren’t done but it might have been how the video was edited. Love the videos. 👍🙏👏🇺🇸 1:16

@b0bj0nes42 5 месяцев назад

When it is oriented right. You should be able to reach the two depth settings switch with trigger finger.

@MapleFarmer 5 месяцев назад

Yup then I have to flip it around. In my head I felt like the bars would get in the way of the rocker switch… but that must not be the case.

@charlesb4267 5 месяцев назад

I had brought this up not long ago but may have been missed, I was curious what if any difference there is between typical Maple Syrup and "Organic" Maple Syrup. To me they would both come out of a tree and as long as the tree wasn't sprayed for example if that was even an issue, wouldn't that make most syrup organic by default ?

@MapleFarmer 5 месяцев назад

Yes I want to do a video on this but the main difference is there has to be a buffer between fields and the woods

It’s a short season and depends on the weather. We have had seasons as short as about 10 days and as long as almost 4 months.

@JackFrost-mt5dh 5 месяцев назад

When I first started taping Maple trees back in the 70's. I was told to look for large limbs above and then large roots below and then tap below or above the limbs and roots. Have you ever heard that. I don't see you do that.

@MapleFarmer 5 месяцев назад

I’ve never heard that saying!
