We choose to boil our sap using a wood fire, since wood is a renewable resource. We harvest trees on our land that have fallen over in the harsh and windy Vermont winters, and collect excess wood from family logging jobs. We bottle in glass instead of plastic because glass is infinitely recyclable, and why not show off how pretty our liquid gold is? We only tap trees that have a 10 inch diameter, to ensure that they have enough time to establish themselves. A tree with a 10 inch diameter is about 40 years old. We also tap in a different part of the maple tree every year, and pull the taps from the trunk every spring to allow it to heal. We try to keep our woods healthy, because without a healthy woods we can't make the maple syrup that we love so much!
