If you see steam we're makin' syrup.
Please stop in and taste warm fresh maple syrup straight out of the evaporator.
My name is Brad Rice, I am a chef by trade and I have a love for the outdoors. With that combination, making maple syrup is perfect for me. I also get a chance to get out of the house in late winter when cabin fever is at its worst.
The spring of 2009 was my first season of making pure New Hampshire maple syrup. I had 25 taps and made several gallons of wonderful amber gold. The sap was boiled on my backyard rig with a roasting pan on cement blocks. It was then I realized I had been bitten by the maple bug and fell in love with the process.
The following summer I started out building a shed and came across an evaporator and my plans changed just a bit. I decided to make my shed a little bigger and add on a few more taps. The end result was a beautiful sugarhouse, a Patrick Phaneuf 2'x6' Stainless Steel drop flue evaporator and about 250 taps for the 2010 season.
We are now heading into our 11th season of maple sugaring and 10th at this level. The 2019 season was a little less impressive then I would have liked with lots of ice in the ground the trees just couldn't suck up water. This made the sugar content higher than average, but much less sap overall resulting in a less than average season. So 2020 here we are our 10th maple weekend coming up shortly. I was behind on getting started this year. I added on some new equipment and was waiting for it from the manufacturer. Everything is now up and running and the sap was flowing great until this past week's warm up so waiting for a freeze! It will come back I am sure.
