I grew up on pure maple syrup and there is absolutely nothing that can compare to the real deal. My dad would heat a quart of pure maple syrup and add walnuts to it then pour it over homemade vanilla ice cream.

[@pullingthestrings5233]

Now that's good living

[@blaisemacpherson7637]

My mom convinced us that it was so absurdly expensive that only rich people could afford it. She gave me a bottle for my birthday one year because I had asked about real maple syrup. I lived it then it ran out and she went right back to mes Butterworth. Then as an adult I realized that you could get a jug of syrup that would last months for about what a hamburger would cost.😊😊

[@Dyl-275]

The difference between store bought maple syrup in UK and Canada is crazy, only like it if it's Canadian

[@ThatSocratesguy]

That sounds amazing

[@queenmamabear5812]

Vermont maple syrup is LITERALLY THE BEST OMG!!!!!! My friend brought me 2 bottles So GOOD Once you have real maple syrup nothing else compares!!!!!!

High fructose corn syrup is way better 😅

@@Travis-guy-247 just because the first car was born in 1903 it don't make it better then a Lexus from today

[@Travis-guy-247]

@@pullingthestrings5233 That's a terrible comparison. A better car comparison would be a luxurious and reliable Lexus (the maple syrup) Vs a battered unreliable Ford that runs terribly (the high fructose corn syrup). Seriously, how can you possibly think the horrible fake processed stuff is better than the natural REAL stuff?

My family were sugar makers in Vermont. I remember tapping the trees as a young kid

[@JeffKelly03]

Mine too. My family used to own a company called American Maple, which supplied LL Bean (when they used to sell maple in their catalogues).

[@TwentyHz]

How come y’all stopped?

[@tonypepperoni3157]

@@TwentyHz wasn’t a large operation just local/not enough of a demand compared to actual companies

[@TwentyHz]

@@tonypepperoni3157 understandable! The scale needed today in any production is quite unique. Here’s to hoping the demand for maple syrup continues to rise as others have to slow sugar farming due to pollution.

This is so good! 🙌 beautiful!

Thanks for that video. Never knew how maple syrup was collected, now I do. Looks like a very relaxing rewarding type of work.

[@icet3629]

Just had some maple syrup from Canada so 👍 Great set up..nice work.

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

Hello, nice to meet you all, and thank you for the video!

[@sicks6six]

I just tasted it for the first time in my life and WOW why did I wait so long, well price is one reason, I paid £4.75 = $5.77 for 250ml. it is sweet but not sickly with a mellow wood taste with some other flavourings I've never tasted before, it will go on my porridge tonight, reading its food values it is like Pop-eyes spinach and the energy levels are off the scale, pure energy from a natural source with no preservatives, colourants, stabilisers or E-Numbers, just as nature made it, maple trees must be fast growers !

[@Dr.Geek-ZA]

Seems the price is the same worldwide, bought a bottle of imported Maple Syrop 250ml for $5 in South Africa today as well. It tastes just as you described.

[@mwmingram]

Great. Thank you.

[@Pop-pv4xt]

Vermont maple syrup! I'm getting it for sure

[@tulsadahal8185]

Omg I love this

[@belaswonderfulworld]

I have some maple trees and bought some taps and buckets, going to try to make mine own...

[@DeadNotSleeping789]

That's wonderful! I have just one big maple tree, and I've finally resolved to tap it this year. Haven't started boiling the sap yet, but I'd already say it's worth it. 😄

Maple syrup + Pancakes = Heaven

Wouldn’t you have to worry about wildlife running through the lines?

[@deetan7944]

I used to think that maple syrup is bad for health and unnatural until I saw this video now. I have never tried it, but I will try to purchase the authentic one from Canada.

I never purchased real maple syrup until I was in my 30s because of the price difference. Finally did one day out of curiosity and wow was there a difference. Never going back.

Do you give tours?

[@luotangji]

*dreams of Vermont maple sugar candy*

[@jason82180]

Are the vacuum lines sucking the sap from the trees or is the sap naturally dripping out?

[@sawyerlarson9023]

Hey I'm from Newhampshire which is right next to Vermont we also do alot of maple syrup making as well, the sap just falls out.

[@ResistanceQuest]

Can you reuse the diatomaceous earth?

[@89five3five]

Everyone is right when they say once you try the real stuff you will never enjoy “pancake syrup” again.

Ye I wonder that aswell :D

[@JJs-ClassC-Adventures]

Do you have trouble with deer or bears tearing up your sap lines?

[@rjohn00]

Im hearing canada maple syrup shortage is that right

[@socloseagain4298]

Is it winter already there? :O

[@AuskaDezjArdamaath]

Not yet. But in any case, maple season is roughly March-April. It needs to get below freezing at night and warm during the day for sap to run. Once the trees burgeon, maple season is over.

Did they say they only produce 200 gallons a year?

Only real maple syrup for my family

[@marswmnwhoever2188]

We tapped one tree in back yard when I was young. I loved sap cold...okay that was long time ago. Now that I am adult my taste buds just dont jive with maple syrup. I honestly dont understand the hype...the video was very informative and interesting. Def takes alot of work to make it in any grand capacity. Kudos. Constantly told Im not a real Vermonter...maybe not but I was born here and lived here whole life. Sure not everyone in Mexico loves Agave either. Do know maple is super good for you

[@Mel-qr5ob]

wouldn't you be worried about potentially spreading disease through an entire forest? You've essentially connected the 'veins' of every single tree and let the 'blood' flow freely past each other. It would be like getting and doling out blood donations from every single volunteer with no background check.

[@danielleN101]

The trees are already connected, through their roots.

[@Mel-qr5ob]

@@danielleN101 no they're connected through the mycorrhizal network and that *doesn't* transfer sap between trees. I think maybe you read a poorly worded explanation of it, the roots of trees aren't joined like conjoined twins. For your understanding maybe imagine like, a tandem skydiving harness. They are physically connected, tied together by something which isn't a part of their body, can communicate more easily, can send nutrients more easily(think handing eachother a snack bar) but there is no direct exchange of fluid.

[@Mel-qr5ob]

@@danielleN101 Plants can also communicate by releasing chemicals through their roots. However again, the roots are not connected to do this. It would be like the equivalent of human speech. You send out a "message" to a nearby human. Or in this case from one tree to another. Talking happens without fluid exchange. Same idea for trees.
