Spring Greetings!

Erika Elder

The maple sugaring season was pretty wild this year!

No two years are ever the same.

This year we boiled twice in February- the 23rd and 25th. Then no sap ran until March 5th when the trees opened up and sap came in everyday until we quit on March 23rd! It was an incredible run and challenging to keep up with. They made around 475 gallons of syrup, all grade A. David and his loyal helpers stopped because they ran out of wood and stainless steel barrels to store the syrup in. The sap kept running but we chose not to collect and boil.. The trees gave us a generous crop and we are very grateful for it. We made enough for us and all the others that enjoy Franklin Farm’s unique and delicious maple syrup!

The milk cows are calving almost everyday now. There are already lots of cute calves running around in the barn.

More on that next time. 

It’s a wonderful time to stop by the farm and see all the new babies and their Moms!

The store is well stocked with maple syrup, dozens of fresh eggs, organic frozen ground beef, and just the other day I made a batch of The One and Only ZESTY Dressing!

Spring is here! Get out and enjoy it.

All the best,

Mary Ellen

Last Days to Graze

Erika Elder

Cows enjoying one the last days of the 2021 grazing season. They have been out every day since May 3rd. Yesterday, November 11 was their last day eating fresh grass. We have never been able to graze them this late in the fall. All the rain kept pastures growing. The cows and us are grateful.
