Those are some giant tanks! Your operation looks ready to handle bulk, you guys are gonna be busy! I think you have a permanent smile, that's a good thing, it's contagious :)

Lots of storage tanks so we are ready for future growth, hopefully!

Ummmmmmm ! Yummy Maple Syrup ! It's soon going to be "Cabane a Sucre," time in Le Quebec, Canada, and in Ontario, Canada, and in New England, USA ! Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Michigan, where else ?

It's fascinating seeing large scale sugaring and all that goes with that. We do a small scale hobby operation in Vermont.

Great video Nikki! What a huge syrup operation! Those huge silos remind me of the tanks at the chemical company I worked at for 37 years!

Ever do a video on cleaning the tanks compared to silos? Confused on why one harder to clean then other. That might be summer time video…lol. Thank you for asking.

@jamesducey2685 Год назад

Walk around the woods and share the sights, relate the sounds, mention the birds, and most importantly tell us about the sap trees as they also have a reality and history.

@John__Wayne Год назад

I saw in another video where you were interviewed by Bar 7 Ranch that you mentioned your great grandfather’s old evaporator. I would be interested in seeing that. Keep up the good work and good luck with the new baby!

Used to gather and make maple syrup with my cousins. And I always loved the sugar house when it got all steamed up. It always was a good time.

@MapleFarmer Год назад

it always smells so good!

@ASTANELAND Год назад

Thanks for another great video. So much to learn about the maple syrup business. I haven’t heard you mention about tours of your facility but I presume you do tours. I live directly north of you in Kawartha Lakes Ontario Canada and would consider driving down to see your syrup production in real life. I grew up in Quebec and have seen many small maple syrup operations but nothing compared to your new building. Thanks for sharing a bit of info on your pregnancy always nice to see how it is going.

@MapleFarmer Год назад

We aren't open to the public and don't do tours as poor building is still under construction!

@bobbolieu9013 Год назад

Those silos are a sizeable investment in just material cost, let alone manufacturing and installation.

@jamesducey2685 Год назад

You certainly have a great bunch of interested people because of the content and your smiling face. Please tell us about the trees and their history and legacy. For example, what are the oldest trees.Visualize what they have seen during the decades.what is their reality of being repeatedly tapped. How do the deer respond to tap lines? Doesn't the proper scientific name of the maple trees begin with Acer? Where is the chair so you can sit down and relax for a minute?

@MapleFarmer Год назад

I did that in a few of my videos last year, but want to do a dedicated video about it!

@marksmith9142 Год назад

Call Kennedy tank in Indianapolis IN. They build all kinds of specialty tank. If they don’t, they can tell you who does. Look them up on the internet.

@awmjb Год назад

Very interesting video! There are a lot of small-medium scale maple syrup operations in my area around Georgian Bay, but I have never seen one with a silo. Do you plan to turn the open areas around the building into maple forest by planting, etc.?

@MapleFarmer Год назад

We just started using the silos about 5 years ago! We don’t plan on planting any maple trees as to be organic you need naturally growing forest with the various species native to the area!

@rockman531 Год назад

@braddobson2060 Год назад

Good vidio, is there non organic maple syrup

@MapleFarmer Год назад

Yes there is. The main difference is that organic maple woods needs to keep diversified so you can’t log out all the other species of trees. There also has to be a buffer between the fields and woods. There’s other differences but those are the main ones

The snow runoff from the roof going to affect the pipes underneath???

@MapleFarmer Год назад

We haven't had any issues yet, as it tends to melt rather than slide off!

@Chiefmonohan Год назад

How are the silos and piping kept from freezing?

@MapleFarmer Год назад

we don't have a problem with them freezing as the sap never sits long enough to freeze.

@TheLT704 Год назад

Did you employ a plumber or did you DIY??? Hopefully you are getting to see some of this NFL football..some interesting results emerging !!!

@MapleFarmer Год назад

Warren is a DIY professional! He does all the plumbing, electric and more.

@mickmccard Год назад

Are the silos heated to prevent freezing?

@MapleFarmer Год назад

No, that would make the sap spoil! We boil everyday that the sap runs so it doesn't have a chance to freeze!

@BearMeat4Dinner Год назад

Hey is it clear out by Malone??

@MapleFarmer Год назад

I’m not sure at we are several hours from Malone

@farmboy5622 Год назад

I had the same problem with my Carhartt coveralls. I blame it on the washer and dryer shrinking my coveralls, because I was not pregnant, I just looked that way.?!?! You could turn those wooden spools into tables. You would just have to notch a few out for pregnant women to sit or stand at. (Ha!Ha!)

@MapleFarmer Год назад

😂😂

@exothermal.sprocket Год назад

How long does the raw sap keep before processing? I'm assuming spoilage is a thing?

@MapleFarmer Год назад

It spoils pretty quickly, that’s why we boil every night. How quickly it spoils depends on the outside temperature. We like to boil it all within 36-48 hours if it’s colder and as it warms up we boil it within 24 hours.

@exothermal.sprocket Год назад

@@MapleFarmer That makes sense. Refrigerating large tanks like this would be an energy bill nightmare. Haha

@markstephens6362 Год назад

So do you own the woods or lease them for the sap

@MapleFarmer Год назад

We own them

@bubbaviper4 Год назад

How do you tell how full the vertical tanks are?

@MapleFarmer Год назад

we don't... 😂 we find out how much is in them when we fill our truck. Someday we would like to add sensors to each tank and to our sap truck so we will be able to check them!

@gordybishop2375 Год назад

Ouch. They make simple floats for truck water tanks. We used them at our work. On large stable tanks we ran a float line out the top, around a bicycle rim with weight on end. It the weight was getting knee high it might rain on ya soon…lol
