It’s almost maple tapping time which means it’s time to gather all your maple tapping supplies! Actually we are late. We are very late as usually we have had trees tapped for at least a week by now. But this New England weather has been down right brutal so we are behind. So what a better way to use this extra time then to make sure I have all my supplies in order!
I’ll be following along with my dad this maple sap season to show step by step how to make maple syrup! Step 1 is gathering your supplies so I created a Youtube video showing exactly what you will need. Below you will also find all the product resources so you can purchase your own maple tapping supplies!
