About every twenty five years the land is logged for walnut, oak, hard maple and ash. Six years ago we had a forester from the state of Ohio come out and inspect the property and he noted that we had a lovely stand of sugar maples on property. I googled “sugar maple” and it referenced that one can make maple syrup from the sap of sugar maple trees. This was the start of what has been a wonderful journey for our family. https://www.tapwood.net/sugaring daily 0.75 2020-12-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e614445a49a820789ba2be8/1607010875454-13Z44CUBU44UIULNN73A/SapBagsonTreesGood.jpg Sugaring Sap bags on maple trees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e614445a49a820789ba2be8/1607011011237-9NBQ51L28CYJ4JP4OATI/CollectingSap.jpg Sugaring Collecting buckets of sap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e614445a49a820789ba2be8/1607010932552-JH3OVNMXSSA2RD71GPAE/SapTanks.jpg Sugaring Sap is pumped into the head tank in the sugar lodge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e614445a49a820789ba2be8/1606956491555-4ZLKIT2N4GI7DUIGRVV4/CollectingSap2.JPG Sugaring - Where does maple syrup come from? You gotta have trees! We primarily use sugar maples to tap. Red and silver maples can also be used to provide sap for boiling. Sugar maples will normally have around 2% sugar content while red and silver maples will be in the 1% range. Sugar maples are more dependable in the production of sap than red and silver. Maple trees move sap up into its branches during the freeze and thaw cycle. A good sap run will generally require a freeze overnight and then 40 degrees during the day. We drill a small hole in the tree and insert a spile. The spile will slowly drip sap into plastic bags. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e614445a49a820789ba2be8/1607018228652-3XEPL3MWHJXSQ1L1IAFP/TapHoleshealed.jpg Sugaring - Does drilling into the tree hurt the tree? The tree will heal itself. We are careful to only tap large diameter trees and will occasionally skip a tree from one year to the next. We tap 110 trees each year. A large maple syrup maker will tap between 2,000 to 4,000 trees.

We boil the sap down in our evaporator. The evaporator looks similar to a wood stove with large pans. We purchased our evaporator from an Amish company in northern Indiana. There is nothing added – the sugar is in the sap and we evaporate (boil) the sap until we reach the concentration of syrup. https://www.tapwood.net/maple-syrup-grades daily 0.75 2020-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e614445a49a820789ba2be8/1607614509061-U0QCVIUHGW18PTACFT3M/Grade+A+golden+delicate+maple+syrup+grade Maple Syrup Grades https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e614445a49a820789ba2be8/1607615498019-V453ZKUDVR0X79C7AHZW/grade+b+maple+syrup+Amber+rich Maple Syrup Grades https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e614445a49a820789ba2be8/1607616398388-SSZELLCBX5IRDAPOPT7D/Grade+A+Maple+Syrup+Dark+Robust Maple Syrup Grades https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e614445a49a820789ba2be8/1607615253039-XXQVATWP1EWMX6CAYNBH/Maple+syrup+covered+pecans Maple Syrup Grades https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e614445a49a820789ba2be8/1607616338047-FOU0OPR3MLOTTBFBPBP4/maple+pie Maple Syrup Grades https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e614445a49a820789ba2be8/1607615330442-B2T9XLP216Q95MM0U8JR/maple+syrup+roasted+veggies Maple Syrup Grades https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e614445a49a820789ba2be8/1607615465510-X6VM2R3591SU3XSH6NLK/maple+covered+popcorn Maple Syrup Grades https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e614445a49a820789ba2be8/1607615289689-H9U3FK3TFGW6C8HQ1LAM/pancakes+and+maple+syrup Maple Syrup Grades https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e614445a49a820789ba2be8/1607616308834-XTCQWR3KOQIYJMDB5QZZ/baked+beans+with+maple+syrup Maple Syrup Grades https://www.tapwood.net/contact-us daily 0.75 2020-12-14 https://www.tapwood.net/shop daily 0.75 2021-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e614445a49a820789ba2be8/1607540833495-JDJS3GUFFPSXF8R9AGN9/tap%2Bwood%2Bmaple%2Bsyrup%2Bcollecting How to Buy Maple Syrup - Ohio Made Maple Syrup The Tap Wood sugaring operation is a family owned and operated farm located in Edenton, Ohio near Stonelick State Park.
