Some people run to Florida this time of year.  No thanks, keep your crowded beaches

Our fancy filtration system getting rid of any junk in the sap

A friend of mine just started tapping her trees for the first time a week ago.  She cold not believe she had not done this before.  It really is not that complicated and you only need a few maple trees.  If you have a maple tree or 2 in your yard or more, you can give it a try.  She thought she needed special sugar maple trees.  Nope any old maple will do.  All you need is a drill, some spouts, bags, cheese cloth and a few big pots and you are off and going.  It keeps us off the Florida beaches in March and that is a good thing

Resort is currently back to being booked out June 12 – August 28th.  Keep an eye on Facebook for any changes I announce them there first
