Agreed - and there’s nothing like producing your own. We normally make 70 gallons a year and give a lot away to neighbors and family.
I no longer live near maple trees and a good friend that used to make his own maple syrup. I do hear that maple syrup can be mailed. Can I interest you in a trade for an authentic southwest tumble weed. A genuine tumble weed can be quite the conversation piece in the northeast!
