Nice to see Warren coming out of his Schell!! He's quite a natural on camera!!

[@BuckWheat0591]

Your brother has grown used to the camera, nice! I mean he was ok but now he's smokin it.

[@MapleFarmer]

He’s getting better! It must be my coaching 😂

[@w.s.2102]

Mother Nature gives what she gives... every year ❤

[@BuckWheat0591]

I can see a nice sweet crib attached, you know a man cave / woman cave. Nice!

[@billchriswell2925]

Very cool! Actually DE is the fossilized remains if Diatoms..a hard shelled algae👍

[@BuckWheat0591]

Your business requires deep commitment to work so hard during season.

[@MapleFarmer]

And the off season! Warren is always working at the sugar house!

[@Yankeerebel806]

​@@MapleFarmerseen alot of progress since spring 👍👍

[@kbittorf335]

That steam evaporator is nice! I hate to imagine what it cost. Producers here say the market for commercial grade has increased in recent years. Same weather boat here, I am waiting for March to become a lion...

[@bobbolieu9013]

I learn something new every time. I could sleep soundly next to the pump for the filter press. I love that rhythm.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Awesome video. Your Brother looks exactly like your dad.when he is walking away.

[@ADSC2006]

Great video. Mother Nature sure has been tricky this season.

[@CorvetteBill364]

That was great. It really showed the process and the automation that your family has invested in BOXLER Maple Syrup. Warren did a fantastic job. Nicki you are doing a great job..

[@MapleFarmer]

Thanks so much! I’m trying to get dad and Warren on camera more since it’s their business!

[@johnc8112]

A very informative video today keep up the great work you do with your family

[@MapleFarmer]

Thank you! I’ll try!

[@chrisrobbins3466]

Just bought a couple more tubs of cotton candy. Warren sold me on it when he said it would be a fresh batch. It’s delicious.

[@MapleFarmer]

It’s soooo good! It doesn’t last long when we make it, so it’s typically sold out!

[@patrickwolf4373]

Hi Nikki and Warren, Really nice content; educational and totally fun! Thank you! In Rice Lake , WI (NW WI) where we are from, the sap hydrometer is measuring 1.5% - unreal for March 12. Two weeks ago it was 2.2% - it’s the least I have ever seen over 47 years. Typically, we would be seeing 3.5-3.8% sugar content at this time in March. Not sure if this has anything to do with last summer’s drought here or ??? The syrup season could be over for us, too, this week; we, like you, are having warm days/nights currently but we’re also scheduled to get some freezing nights later this week. We’ll see what that does for our maple trees, but I doubt it will change the sap-sugar% much. We’ll still enjoy every minute of the process, though! Best wishes from our place to yours - keep up the great videos!

[@tommy..980]

Hi Nikki so very sorry to hear about the year you’ve had so far They’re so tough after all the hard work you put in during and before the season… God willing you’ll make up for it next year…. I can’t get over how darn cute you are… I would watch your channel if you just read a newspaper for a 1/2 an hour 😂😂😂😂 keep your faith….

[@ST-xx9rt]

I tap 10 trees a year for family consumption. Most year we get 6 +/- gallons. This year we got 5 qts. I'm sure it harts with all that overhead. All the Best to you

[@jeffchabot4385]

Impressive operation. Thanks for sharing your story. We do a small hobby set up in Vermont, but it's cool to see the big operations work.

[@larrywalters6195]

On Wed, Here At Blue Eye Maple Syrup in northwest Pa.I finish Boiling for 2024 season! Now on to next crop Strawberries!!Have good year Warren and Nikki.

[@buffdoc46]

Early 80's I was at my cousins Jersey Cow farm in Swanton Vermont, he took me over to Highgate Vermont to see a maple farm as it was the first time I saw drain tubes from trees. Their Syrup house was still kinda old school, but still far from bucket collection. It is amazing how far the Syrup production process has come. Thanks to Fergie for showing me that in the old days. I made Syrup from the bucket process on my parents property in the 70's. I grew a huge appreciation of how hard the process is.

[@tedquaker954]

What a great American Family.... God Bless

[@finallyfriday.]

"Great". Why? Like Roosevelts?

[@frankeem3820]

Questions, how many gallons does each side hold? What kind of fuel are you burning inside of your steam generator? Finally, what made you decide on using a mem- protect RO machine as opposed to one of the other manufacturers? You guys have a great Flagship operation their. Again you make me jealous.

[@Summitoutdoorproductions]

Crazy weather here in western New York for sure. Looking like full on winter is back now though. Roller coaster for sure!! Incredible place you guys have. Enjoy the videos. Dave

[@MapleFarmer]

Thanks for tuning in. Hopefully this weather brings the trees back!

[@tonydentonarms4112]

Just finished first boil 26 hours 2 1/2 gallon of perfect syrup. Had fun

[@MapleFarmer]

Great job!

[@gerardjohnson2106]

Amazing. Great video. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👏👏🇺🇲

[@MapleFarmer]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for tuning in!

[@AlexMakesMaple]

How do you decide how much filter aid to add? Where’s the magic 4 gallons come from? Keep up the good work👍

[@ld5954]

Very interesting! Amazing process!👍 Thanks for the great video!

[@MapleFarmer]

Thanks for watching!

[@RobertViani]

You have an awesome set up. We started early and finished early this year out in North East CT. 🪵🔥🍁

[@dixiewishbone5582]

I realize the light golden syrup is what you strive for, but give me the late season dark stuff loaded with a strong maple flavor! Diatomaceous earth is also used as aid to rid parasites (externally and internally) for some animals including poultry. I think it is a product made from very finely ground shells from the ocean. . . . Thanks of the interesting video!!

[@kevb9578]

Yes. Not much flavor in steam pan syrup. Mes steam Evaporators seem better cuz It runs deeper in the pan. I guess consumer will get use to it idk

[@BissellMapleFarm]

Warren does great on camera! Great video!

[@MapleFarmer]

I just wish I could get them to talk on camera more often!

[@BissellMapleFarm]

@@MapleFarmer find out what he ate that day! Feed him more of that!

[@johnborton4522]

Walter is GREAT on camera. All of you are awesome.

[@davef1977]

Thanks for the update video; it was so informative and again reinforces the care and effort that go into making what has become my maple syrup of choice! Here’s hoping for another month of the season, and the best to you the rest of the way ….

[@MapleFarmer]

Thank you so much, we are hoping the season keeps going but we will find out in the next couple of days if the trees will keep producing!

[@KC2DZB]

We're in ENY on a gravity tubing system and I'm pretty sure our season is over, a good 3 weeks early. And we've been boiling since the first week in January, but have only had a few good freezes. What a bizarre year!

[@a-aroncarpenter6616]

this weather is NUTS!!!!! Fingers crossed for yall!!

[@kroge007]

Grew up in the fingerlakes area of New York. Haven’t lived there for over 40 years but buy things made up there and Boxler maple syrup is one of them.

[@MapleFarmer]

Thank you! We appreciate your support!

[@finallyfriday.]

Northern Michigan- first boil mid JANUARY. Looks like we'll boil into April. Running out of wood. Super rich syrup.

[@coffee8866]

Hears to March to being our coldest month ever... Great video!

[@johnhenderson299]

Very impressive operation

[@MapleFarmer]

Thank you!

[@erniezsigo3926]

What is the cleaning process like when the season is done for all that equipment

[@vincentcotnoir1356]

I don't know if at your place is the same than here in Québec where I am, but the couple of maple sirop maker that I have talk with. They all told me that this year, it was pretty hard to pass the sirop into the press, they have to change those filters very often, more than normal ...

[@normanpaterson]

Thanks for the tour, I just poured Boxler syrup on my Cheerios, every time I pour it, am amazed at how much work goes into it, compared to the low cost I pay for it, delicious! Thanks Boxlers.

[@johnbucklerfarms]

Diatomaceous Earth is the best Safe Pest Control for Your Garden Also!

[@MapleFarmer]

I’ve read that!! I need to try it

[@johnbucklerfarms]

The Powder under a microscope has Spikes and the bugs eat it and it kills them without pesticides! It works great on tomatoes but don’t apply when the bees are Pollinating!

[@Bigbass1ful]

Question: Have you ever heard of re-opening tap holes by re drilling 1/8 inch deeper in the same hole?

[@darrylklein3296]

We made just over 3000 gallons of finished syrup here in Western New York

[@lloydmiller5690]

Could you use the steam to make electricity

[@Farmerkris44]

How long does syrup keep for in a jar

[@kbittorf335]

I believe producers are now required to date the containers but I don‘t know how long that is for. I just picked up a quart here locally and it has a batch number and a date stamp of 12/2026. Once opened they always say refrigerate. But I never do! If it gets moldy just skim it and heat it up and pour back into the bottle.

[@charlesb4267]

Who is doing the collecting/trucking these days ?

[@MapleFarmer]

Dad. He does it all

[@charlesb4267]

@@MapleFarmerWith your son strapped into the right hand "truck seat" supervising 😉

[@BradyNoonan-gq5nj]

I have a quick question, how deep do you guys tap your trees? I have about 600 taps and we only made about 40 gallons of syrup this year Most is on high vaccum, I drilled about 1 to 1 1/2 deep and was wondering if that may be my problem?

[@MapleFarmer]

We typically drill around 1.5” - 2”. 2” is our max depth

[@09DUKE690]

How many taps?

[@MapleFarmer]

~35k

[@jocalafarms4051]

I understand the need for steam evaporator with your commercial operation, but you dont get the mouth feel of the syrup, in my opinion. Syrup needs to stay in the pan and cook.

[@genefoxgreenmountaindroning]

Is that one of your small evaporator

[@MapleFarmer]

It’s our only evaporator

[@mattcrowell7945]

When he said ½gallon per hole does he mean you produced ½ gallon of syrup per tap?

[@MapleFarmer]

Correct!

[@gordybishop2375]

DE....ancient Diatoms....fosils.

[@gordybishop2375]

But..but...I like the darkest syrup
