In 1988, we pulled up stakes and moved from Nobleton to our present location, just north of Atwood, Ontario. Now keep in mind folks, we left behind a 3 acre bush and are now tapping a 50 acre bush. We’ve increased the amount of work, but amazingly, our staffing numbers haven't increased. We have 1/4 of the bush tapped and continue with roadside maples, bringing our total taps to 1000. Each year, we plan to add taps in our bush.

In order to keep the tradition alive, we continue to use buckets around the "Sap Shack" and along the roadside, but we also want to show how modern technology works, so we having tubing and a vacuum system that brings the sap from the bush all the way to the "Sap Shack"

50+ years later, I'm still making syrup and my parents, my brother and his family and my wife are helping me keep the tradition alive.

"Sappy" story? Maybe, but we are enjoying carrying on with this age-old tradition.
