The sap runs when nights are below freezing and the days are warm.
On average it takes 40 gallons of Sap to make a gallon of Maple Syrup.
You can convert most recipes you have by substituting 3/4 cup of syrup for 1 cup of sugar and reducing another liquid in the recipe by 3 tbsp.
Maple syrup has more calcium than milk (per unit volume) and more potassium than bananas (per unit weight).

Our SugarHouseWe have a 20' x 36' Timber Frame sugarhouse which holds our 4' x 12' wood fired evaporator and sugar
house kitchen. We have several sugar bushes in different locations around the Hudson Valley. In each location we rely on mazes of plastic tubing to carry the sap to collection tanks. On the sugarhouse property we use the "old fashioned" buckets on trees. We enlist the help of our sons, nephews and friends to help gather and transport the sap buckets to the sugarhouse collection tank.
Each coming year we look forward to the smell of sweet maple and "boiling" during sugaring season. Stop by and visit us during our Maple Season which starts mid February into late March. Come see how the sweet maple sap is made into Maple Syrup. Look for the steam coming from the sugarhouse smoke stack and the sweet smell of maple... and you'll find us!
