Sugar Camp
Apr 07, 2004
Last Friday, after work, the e-learning group took a well deserved break for supper and a tour at the Trites Family sugar camp. For those of you not familiar with maple syrup production, the sap of maple trees, which runs for three weeks each spring, is collected in buckets or piped through (blue) hoses. To obtain maple syrup, the sap is boiled in a large vat. Then it is served on buckwheat pancakes or rolled in snow to create one of the best treats in the world. If you are wondering what you are missing if you are not vacationing in New Brunswick the first few weeks of spring, this is it. Full size versions of the photos are available, as usual, for your desktops.
