It has been many years since the American Chestnut tree has grown on this farm. Today we planted two trees on the mountain, I hope they do well.

The old garage that stood beside the house was beyond repair. The stone support walls have begun to crumble and it’s only a matter of time before it fell. We emptied the contents that easily go back 80+ years finding some nice relics and demolished the building. I was able to save many of the siding boards that we will utilize to repair boards on the other buildings.

We are ending our sap run with 10 quarts. We still have to run the final filter pass and get it decanted into the small bottles, but it was great sap year.

30 gal to 3 gal to 3 quarts. Our filters won’t arrive until tomorrow, so it’ll hang out in the mason jar until then.

An all day cold rain has ruined any hopes at being productive, so cooking down syrup in the “sugar shack” prevailed over outdoor activities. We started with 28 gallons and finishing up with 3 gallons.

Little ruff today checking buckets, the boys are immersed in school work so Jana said I could ride along with her.

It’s that time of year again, the forecasted temperatures over the next week are ideal for the sap to run.
