Maple Tapping Workshop: Tubing Systems
November 2 – 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM

This method can be applied by hobbyists and commercial syrup producers alike. Dr. Farrell, formerly of Cornell University’s Maple Syrup Research & Extension Program, now taps over 150,000 trees annually through his company, Forest Farmers.
