An Easier Way to Get Sap

According to Edd Merritt, who took and sent in this picture, it's a Charlotte Iron Maple with tap and sap bucket he discovered on Hinesburg Road.  No word on which grade of syrup you get from the finished product.

New Book in Town

Betty Ann Lockhart (right) appeared at the South Burlington Barnes & Noble last Saturday to talk about her new book called "Maple Sugarin' in Vermont: A Sweet History."  B&N probably has a few copies of the book but you should get it at the Charlotte-owned bookstore, Flying Pig Books in Shelburne where it's offered at a 10% discount ($17.99).
