Our Maple Sugar Season at Weil Farms

The maple season in Connecticut usually begins around mid February and lasts until the first of April.  At this time we head to the woods with our drills, buckets, and plastic tubing to gather sap from the sugar maples.   Once the March weather produces consecutive days above freezing, and nights that go below freezing, the sap will flow.  The sap must be collected daily.  We set around 1000 taps in our sugar maple trees.  We then collect the sap from the trees to produce our high quality maple syrup.  On an average day we collect around 500 gallons of raw sap.  The sap is then sent to the sugar house.  We fire our wood fired evaporator and boil down the raw sap into pure maple syrup.  It takes almost 40 gallons of sap to produce one gallon of pure maple syrup.  We pride ourselves on our small operation which produces an extremely high quality product.

We sell two grades of maple syrup to the public:

Grade A Medium Amber – Nice light color with good maple flavor.  Great on waffles, pancakes, oatmeal and over ice cream.

Grade A Medium Amber Maple Syrup

Grade B Maple Syrup

Maple Candy

Our 100% pure maple candy is made by using grade A light amber syrup.  We boil the maple syrup and pour the syrup into candy molds in the shape of maple leafs.
