Detailed History...
"The Gray Family has been producing Pure Maple Syrup on this farm (Beaver Meadow Farm) since 1866... "

*** Maple Sugaring Spring 2008 ***

Syrup production began March 9th, with dad back at the helm. The new evapaorator installed in 2007 started like a charm. The day was warm and rain set in during the day, making the tapping/gathering/boiling experience truly fun! Tapping started within the previous 3-4 days. All sorts of help arrived that Saturday to accelerate the mobilization of the sugaring season.

A whole family (mom/dad and all their kids) had a reunion of a sort the night before which helped set the mood.

Many hours were spent the previous 1-2 weeks lifting the sap pipelines from under the deep, crusted snow for the tree taps on the hill(s).
