As the maple syrup making continues on the farm, we are collecting, reverse osmosis-ing, boiling, filtering and bottling. Ian collected nine buckets of sap Sunday evening. He and I took turns getting up every hour and a half overnight Sunday to get it all run through the RO filter so that we could start the boil Monday morning. We boiled all day today and were able to bring the "almost syrup" inside in a large stock pot to finish up on the stove tonight. After even more boiling (though not overnight), we will be ready to filter and bottle by mid-day tomorrow. Then it is back to the trees Tuesday afternoon to begin the process all over again.
