Making Maine Sugarworks Maple Syrup

Winter is the heart of New England...
Time to Tap!
Work on the syrup operation continues
constant maintenance, and we are always
looking for ways to improve the system.
Straight, tight and downhill is the sugarmaker's
creed when running tubing.
the upper 30's, it is tapping time!
year's tap holes have healed.
New holes are drilled and the spiles are or
to the pipeline. The kids
love to try and catch the first drip of
sap on their tongues. The sugarbush rings
with the sound of sap pinging against
the bottom of freshly hung buckets.
