It's Maple Syrup Season!
Every Spring, just before the trees start budding, there is a lot of activity in our family. It is maple syrup time. We spend the month of March collecting and boiling sap into yummy syrup. We then have yummy, real, natural maple syrup to use year round. Best of all, we know exactally what is (and isn't) in it! Aside from our own use, we generally make enough to sell as well.
