Scott’s Movable Feast

 

As many of you know, my uncle was horribly injured in a bicycle accident this winter. Spending more time with my family and helping to deal with this crisis meant that I chose to stay in the South longer this year. Subsequently pulling together sugaring equipment and time is just out of the question.Nonetheless, I am hearing that the past few days have been setting records for sap flow here in the Upper Valley! 

If you have never been to a sugarhouse, you should really get out and experience it. The whole proccess is fascinating and the fact that the delicious syrup we enjoy starts its life as very watery sap is incredible. Find a small sugaring operation near you and go spend an hour. Our good friends Wayne and Cathy Fifield (802-333-4467) in Thetford Center keep our farm stand in good supply all season long. Their sugarhouse is open to visitors, just give a call.
