Jason Haverkort of Haveracres Maple Farm said the St. Joseph’s maple operation recently finished making syrup for the year, having starting the process February 28. He said it wasn’t a bad winter, with some minimal damage, while production numbers were average or slightly above.
Despite some rough sledding after post tropical storm Fiona destroyed a big portion of maple trees, Haverkort said things seem to be getting better.
As for next season, Haverkort said they are hoping for a good growing season with plenty of leaf cover.
