Our sugarhouse tours series resumes with a visit to Downslope Syrup in Enosburg, Vermont (just a stone's throw from Enosburg Falls, where Leader was founded back in 1888).
Jared Willey has a nice compact sugarhouse where he brings to bear a life of sugaring experience, sharing lots of tips on everything from firing up and sweetening the pan, to managing airflow and keeping your hydrometer from getting sticky.
And then there is the Iron Boot contraption...
Downslope has a well-thought-out sugaring operation with 225 taps and a 2x6 American Pans setup.
Of note is that, after the maple season is over, Jared boils birch sap and so here he shares some of his experience about that as well.
