I now understand the differences between Fancy, A, B, etc. It was summer, so not in operation, but it was impressive nonetheless. Also impressive was the number of trees and the area of land needed to produce those gallons of sap.Chris Kreussling (Flatbush Gardener)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08467595231097695124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14731145.post-30083304236075305112009-02-13T09:37:00.000-05:002009-02-13T09:37:00.000-05:00Hello in New York;I followed this maple syrup cons...Hello in New York;<BR/><BR/>I followed this maple syrup conspiracy for some time wondering what the eventual outcome would be. For those unfamiliar with the smell of real maple syrup, come to Vermont during the month of April and you'll probably find a Vermont sugar house where maple sap is boiled to make maple syrup. It takes 35-40 gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup. Price was around $55/gallon this year at the gallon rate and it translated to over $100 a gallon if you bought small containers, 2 ounce, half pint, pint, etc. Just like milk from a dairy or a live Christmas Tree in December, if you actually knew what went into the production, you'd never question the price.<BR/><BR/>George Africa<BR/>The Vermont Gardener<BR/>http://thevermontgardener.blogspot.com<BR/>Vermont Gardens<BR/>http://vermontgardens.blogspot.com<BR/>Vermont Flower Farm (under revision)<BR/>http://vermontflowerfarm.comvermontflowerfarm@outlook.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923885023694355932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14731145.post-66425701436749121252009-02-09T14:56:00.000-05:002009-02-09T14:56:00.000-05:00We used to smell this in the Theatre district when...We used to smell this in the Theatre district when I live there years ago. We all noticed it and it was a big mystery.

I thought it anomolous until I got out of the subway 45 minutes later at Ft. Hamilton Pkwy and smelled it again. The next day, everyone thought I was nuts.<BR/><BR/>So much for nuts.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554893883207752597noreply@blogger.com
