First Drips of Maple Sap - Tapping for Maple Syrup in New England - February 20, 2024

Yesterday I tapped a few Maple trees. Here's a video of the first drips of sap hitting the collection bucket. Later we'll boil it down to create some homemade maple syrup!

I apologize for the buzzing in the video, my phone camera is damaged and tends to do that.

I fucking love this - such a moment! Is this a new direction for you - homesteading..?

Is this for wine or something else..? Or both? !

Such a great time of year - sap rising n all!

How is life btw..?

First time trying it! Been slowing being more self sufficient at home with the flock, the bees and now some maple harvesting. Gonna be a small batch so I might try to make some different types of infused maple syrups. We shall see how the boiling process goes…

All is well here. How are things with you sir?

Good to hear!

All well back in the UK!
