Tam and I own Moose Creek Maple Products, an old family business producing Maple Syrup and selling a full line of Maple Processing Equipment. We can set you up with a Back Yard Evaporator 18" x 36" or put you at the controls of a 7' x 30 ' evaporator with 3 oil burners and a beautiful control panel.

During the Sugar Season (after the winter, when we get thawing days and freezing nights)
our life comes to a stop, nothing but Maple.
I have seen the evaporator run 4 days without stopping. I have also seen lulls where we may only boil every other day, just depends on the trees/weather. All our trees in the Sugar Bush are on tubing direct to the Sugar House..........NO BUCKETS, thats to much work, technology is way past buckets.

After Sugar Season, life slows and I get to work on my Carryall 8 hours a day.

Its beautiful to walk up into the Sugar Bush during any season, see the animals, no noise but some of the streams gurgling. When you up there, its hard to imaging that there is a rat race going on in the world. Fall and Winter is the best seasons for beauty, and the tourists have gone home before it snows and they get stranded ha ha ha
