@MapleFarmer
Жыл бұрын
Yes there is. The main difference is that organic maple woods needs to keep diversified so you can’t log out all the other species of trees. There also has to be a buffer between the fields and woods. There’s other differences but those are the main ones

I grew up in Quebec and have seen many small maple syrup operations but nothing compared to your new building. Thanks for sharing a bit of info on your pregnancy always nice to see how it is going.

It spoils pretty quickly, that’s why we boil every night. How quickly it spoils depends on the outside temperature. We like to boil it all within 36-48 hours if it’s colder and as it warms up we boil it within 24 hours.
