The '10 Maple Syrup season is over now, but I figured I’d post up a few pics of the operation. We’re a small scale producer, but made about 32 gallons of syrup this year. It was a horrible season for most producers, but we came out above average. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/100_0797.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/100_0797.jpg) My fiance driving the Tucker: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/100_0860.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/100_0860.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/100_0862.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/100_0862.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/100_0877.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/100_0877.jpg) Our evaporator; wood fired Amish built 2x6 drop flue: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/101_5057.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/101_5057.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/101_5061.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/101_5061.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/101_5055.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/101_5055.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/101_5053.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/101_5053.jpg) Thiokol 2100 with the sap collection tank ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/2100.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/2100.jpg) Buckwheat; Keeper of the sugarshack ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/101_5054.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Southtowns27/Maple%20syrup/101_5054.jpg) ---

I sure don’t miss doing wood to fire an evaporator… My family runs maple grove farms in clarendon, we’re a bit bigger than you, but still a pretty small operation. [http://mapleclarendonny.webs.com/](http://mapleclarendonny.webs.com/) ---

To answer the questions: We’re just north of Springville, so no, we’re not in Zoar Valley. Know somebody down there? I don’t eat a lot of pancakes…waffles instead! I don’t have to do firewood for the evaporator. I buy hardwood slab cut to length from the Amish. I put the stakesides on my flatbed and can heap the truck for $20. It’s a no brainer… I hardly even have to split any of it. And yes, syrup can go on just about anything…especially bacon.
