Backyard Maple Sugaring Workshop
Sunday, February 2nd
Mecklenburg NY
1pm - 4pm

If you've ever considered tapping a few trees in the backyard, 
collecting the sap, and making your own maple syrup, Wellspring Forest 
Farm invites you to a workshop on the basics of small-scale maple syrup 
production. We will cover the basics of tapping, collection, boiling, 
and finishing of sap and syrup. In addition to sugar maples, black 
walnuts and birches can be tapped and this potential will also be 
discussed.

The workshop will take place on farm and includes a tour of the small 
sugarbush of about 100 trees (hopefully we will be boiling!). The class 
will be led by Steve Gabriel, who has been sugaring for almost ten years 
on a range of scales from 5 to 500 trees. The cost for the class is $10 
per person.

USED MAPLE BUCKETS FOR SALE
We have limited quantity of high quality metal bucket sets for sale. 
These are increasingly hard to find. For $15 you get a bucket, lid, 
spout, and tap along with basic instructions. If you get buckets the 
class fee will be waived.
