then you collect the sap


You tap a spout into the hole and collect the free sap. I'm tapping five sugar maples this year, one we planted 23 years ago and the others on a neighbor's property. At home I use the traditional covered bucket from the Miller family farm. But, much as I don't like the tons of plastic dumped daily on the world, for the others the bag is easier and cute in its way. Pic by Joel.
