How it is made
Step one, late February
When days climb above freezing and nights drop back below, the sap runs. We drill a fresh tap in each sugar maple and hang the line.
Step two, every run
Tubing carries the sap down through the bush to the tank. On a good day the woods look like this and the tank fills twice.
Step three, the same day
The sap goes straight to the evaporator in the sugar shack. Hours of wood fire take it from two percent sugar to sixty-six.
Step four
Finished syrup is filtered and drummed hot in stainless, where it keeps until we bottle. The bourbon barrel batch rests in oak for eight months.
Step five, still hot
Reheated to 180 degrees and bottled in glass so every cap seals itself. Our name goes on every label.
Since 1861
The Skardas settled in Kellnersville in 1861 and never left. Andy and Jeff grew up on the dairy farm in Denmark, built a log cabin from trees their grandparents planted, and in 2009 started boiling sap. Every spring they come back to do it again, kids in tow.
