Spring has arrived, which means it's maple tapping season at NanBop Farm! In this episode of Growing, Eating, and Educating, Farm Director Jason takes us through the age-old tradition of tapping maple trees to collect sap and begin the process of making delicious, farm-fresh maple syrup.

In the video, Jason explains:
How to identify the right maple trees for tapping
The tools and techniques used to drill, tap, and collect sap
Why weather plays a crucial role in sap flow

Tapping maple trees is a sustainable and rewarding process that has been practiced for generations. At NanBop Farm, we take pride in harnessing nature’s gifts to bring fresh, locally made products to our community.
