Sap is Starting to Flow

The perfect weather for sap flow is daytime temperatures in the 40’s and overnights below freezing. As of Friday last week the forecast had 8 of 10 days meeting this criteria, so in anticipation we put in nearly 400 taps this weekend. However, the forecast has now changed and it looks like only Monday and Tuesday will have sap flow with some colder weather coming in for the remainder of the week. We’re getting antsy for the season to begin, and look forward to the upcoming weeks in March!
