if you like maple syrup, get it now

 

We took advantage of a gorgeous day last weekend and drove up to Kent’s Sugar House in Rensselaer County. 

 

That gorgeous weather? According to Kent, trees are already starting to bud which imbues the sap with an aftertaste – yield expectations are very low and there will likely be little NY State maple syrup.  I bought a half-gallon. 

 

That’s Kent in the hat.  He’s a quiet man. 

NY sugar shacks are open again this weekend – it’s a great excuse for a drive.  Or, you can read more about maple syrup here. 

I love these!
