Sap table prep

Today my hubby went out to power wash the 275 ga food grade tote we picked up from a cranberry bog.  Actually, we picked up 3 and took one to Farm J. with every intention of using it for Maple syrup collecting.  It has an opening on the top and a handy spout on the bottom with a valve...perfect for this project.

M and C made plans for an efficient production line for the am. 

Raising the tote for easy access.

M began loading in all of the sap collected. 

Then my son, hubby and I went off to a part of the property to collect the running sap from today.

On the way back down into the land, I took my son over to see the 2 baby bulls.

This one got close....
