I have it down to 40 litresHojw much syrup results?
A friend of a friend used to rent 100 sq ft out of the corner of multiple farmers fields. He'd go down to the food terminal, fill his truck with corn and spread it around to all of his "farm fresh corn" stands staffed by local teenagers. Controlled the whole territory and buyers were none the wiser. Farmers didn't care because they were growing cow corn anyway and pocketed the rent.That’s so awesome. My uncle did a few years of boiling but decided the effort wasn’t for him . I’m back to buying on the open market .
I will not buy Quebec syrup ever , at any price , they stock pile and control the release of product , you can be buying 5 yr old product . I’ll pay extra to a local farmer , if it’s one a know.
Don’t think for a minute “ Mennonite joeseph “ can make 1000 gal from a 20 tree bush lot . There is a fair bit of 45 gal barrels of industrial maple syrup being rebottled.
There is a guy outside Campbellville selling ‘farm fresh eggs’ off his front porch. There is about a half dozen chicken coops out back of the house. Not one of those old coops has chickens in it . They are farm fresh , just not that farm…….

Similar for me except my buddy had a farm out in Oro Medonte years ago. He started a maple syrup business and basically said about half his product is just buying it from other local guys, slapping on his farm label on it, and 'farm fresh home made' mumbo jumbo...but not his farm.A friend of a friend used to rent 100 sq ft out of the corner of multiple farmers fields.

I have 6 large sugar maple trees, the are all open (not in a forest) so I get 50-100l of sap per tree. Didn't tap this year, but I usually get 350-400l, of sap total.
