Maple Syrup Experiment


I have toyed with the idea of tapping my Big Leaf Maple Trees on my property ever since I saw this YouTube video UW YouTube Video several years ago. this year I'm getting more serious and am going to try it for the first time. 

I read this NPR article a few days ago that really inspired me.

 NPR Big leaf Maple Syrup Flows As Profits Drip

I have tapped 6 trees so far, as of 12/27/2021 we’re still waiting for the sap to flow but things are looking promising as we’re supposed to literally in 20’s at night and in the low 30 during the day. I’ll up date this page as the season progresses.

On the first Week of Feb  2022 I tapped 20 additional trees, by the end of the flow, I had collected 30 gallons of Raw Sap and boiled this raw sap down to 5 gallons of sap. it is currently in my freezer waiting for the final boil down to syurp.

Well, we finally took the plunge and listed Part of our Farm in Packwood on Hipcamp.
 
If you don't know about Hipcamp find more here.
 
We Listed the Parcel that is 1 acre in size and are starting with 7 Primitive sites that people can pitch a tent. as time goes on we'll add more amenities like composting toilets, Running water etc.
7 site Plan.


 
Our Long term plan is to develop it into a 20-30 site with spots for RV back-in's with a main cabin with a retail store on the bottom and a rentable upper second level. We want to dedicate one spot for  campground Host./ Farm Assistant
The idea is also to provide places for people to stay while we conduct Permaculture/sustainable
