Roundup of the Past Week at Meadowbrook Maple

Finally it's warming up, the sun is shining on the trees, and the sap is running! The sugarhouse is in full steam (literally). So far, we've made about 800 gallons of maple syrup and hope the rest of April keeps us busy.

In other good news this week,  the Associated Press published a video and article on Meadowbrook Maple and the new Tap Track system we installed in our sugarbush. The story was picked up by news outlets all over the U.S. like the Boston Globe, The Washington Post, and Yahoo News. It's exciting to see our little sugarhouse being recognized for being the first in Vermont to purchase the new wireless pipeline monitoring system to help make more maple syrup. 

Maple syrup production has come a long way from metal buckets hung on trees. High vacuum tubing helps syrup makers draw more sap, and now, a new wireless surveillance system can alert them, remotely, if that tubing springs a leak. (April 1)

WCAX, our local CBS affiliate, saw the Associated Press story, and came to do their own story on Tap Track. Judy Simpson did an awesome job and really captured what Maple Sugaring is all about and why the Tap Track System is such a helpful tool for sugarmakers.
