This is just a quick update on our sugarbush project. This was filmed towards the end of November. We’ve chosen the loggers to do the job. It’s going to take place over two winters because we don’t want to harm the roots of the maple trees. If we logged...

The other day I thought I would tackle a job that I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time but didn’t have the right tools to do the job. As many of you may know, we recently bought a tractor with a bucket and backhoe to help...

We are making progress in restoring the road that we use to get into our sugarbush. In the video you can see us cutting and hauling the small trees and brush from the sap road. This should make it much easier for us to get to our firewood that...
