About our Trip to the Maple Sugar Farm By: Rus and Tert

(This is Rus' account of our trip to a nearby Fruit Farm/Maple Syrup Farm.)

Hi, this is Rus. I learned all about how to make maple syrup. I saw the whole thing. (Them tapping the trees.) The man tapped the trees. We saw snowmobiles. (There was a snowmobile track running through the farm.)
He drilled holes in the tree. It was icy there. (In the parking lot.) He put a hanger on the tree. Then he put a bucket there. The man said that it takes 40-50 gallons of sap from sugar maple trees to make 1 gallon of maple syrup. It takes 100 gallons of sap from birch trees to make 1 gallon of maple syrup. Then we went on the snowmobile trail, saw the snowmobiles. There, I'm all out of ideas... (Walks off...)


Tert said to add that there were 2 buckets on the tree.
