Yesterday Catherine and I had resolved to go walking into the sugarbush and cut a small spruce tree for the holiday. Then Felicity called and invited us to join her and Fraser on a rather more ambitious tree-finding expedition. So a small walk with the dogs turned into one of those magic family outings: four adults, two kids and three dogs.
We met at the Hidden Springs “pump house” (where sap from the HSM sugarbush is collected and concentrated...
Since I married into the Cooper-Ellis family (Catherine and I celebrated our 30th anniversary last May, and the birth of our first grandchild last month!) I’ve been one of those immensely fortunate people who has more than enough maple syrup. I have used this wealth in all the usual ways – Catherine’s Swedish Pancakes with fruit, yogurt and some warm Fancy are a particular favorite. But I’ve long enjoyed cooking, and I’ve found that maple syrup...
Beautiful morning, but chilly (26F.) Just a skim coat of ice in the puddles, nothing on the pond.

Florida wins for the state with the most syrup orders in September. We’ll have to wait and see which state wins in October. Lots of orders coming from California so far.
Our Fancy grade was so popular this season that we have run out of pints of Fancy. We expect to have more bottled soon and back on our website for sale.
When I asked one customer what was so special about our Fancy grade, he put it quite simply. He cannot find it anywhere else at this price or this quality. Our quantity discounts have also been popular and we’ve been selling cases of 6 pints and 6 quarts like crazy. We’ll have more Fancy pints...
