My SIL and his friends own a maple sugar business that I am trying to get involved with. My son tells me to do my homework before investing any time and/or money as he thinks it is more of a hobby than a business.

How many trees do they tap?

I hope you realize that the sugar season is six weeks of intensive work. And that a dry year or a warm spring can wipe your season out.
 

Orion inc.

I like turtles
Mine as well.

I would like to find a non-profit that needs someone with good organizational skills and a lot of free time.

I am also looking forward to playing Grandpa.

Fewer than 200.

Last year was a total bust.

I do like their name----Tap House Syrup.

The "business" needs an infusion of capital for a new evaporator and vacuum system. My plan is to purchase them and to then find a local syrup producer who would be willing to boil our sap for us, as that is the most labor intensive part of the job.

Well, good luck.

I used to know a couple guys who tapped well over 500 trees each. Big stainless gathering tanks and big stainless evaporators.

One was retired and the other worked full time. Both made a little money doing it, but it really was just a hobby for them.
