Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sugarmaker's Companion is the first guide of its kind addressing the small- and large-scale syrup producer seeking to make a profitable business from maple, birch, and walnut sap. This comprehensive work incorporates valuable information on ecological forest management, value-added products, and the most up-to-date techniques on sap collection and processing. It is, most importantly, a guide to an integrated sugaring operation, interconnected to the whole-farm system, woodland, and community. Farrell documents the untapped potential of American forests and shows how sugaring can turn a substantial profit for farmers while providing tremendous enjoyment and satisfaction. Michael Farrell, sugarmaker and director of the Uihlein Forest at Cornell University, offers information on setting up and maintaining a viable sugaring business by incorporating the wisdom of traditional sugarmaking with the value of modern technology (such as reverse-osmosis machines and vacuum tubing). He gives a balanced view of the industry while offering a realistic picture of how modern technology can be beneficial, from both an economic and an environmental perspective. Within these pages, readers will find if syrup production is right for them (and on what scale), determine how to find trees for tapping, learn the essentials of sap collection, the art and science of sugarmaking, and how to build community through syrup production. There are many more unique aspects to this book that set it apart from anything else on the market, including: - A focus on maple as a local, sustainably produced and healthy alternative to corn syrup and other highly processed and artificial sweeteners; - The health benefits of sap and syrup in North America and throughout the world; - Attention to the questions of organic certification, sugarhouse registration, and the new international grading system; - Enhancing diversity in the sugarbush and interplanting understory crops for value-added products (ginseng, goldenseal, and mushrooms, specifically); - An economic analysis of utilizing maple trees for syrup or sawtimber production and the market opportunities for taphole maple lumber; - The value of sap as a healthful and profitable energy drink; - Detailed analyses on the economics of buying and selling sap; - Lots of great information on marketing to create a profitable business model (based on scale, interest, and access), and more. . . . Applicable for a wide range of climates and regions, this book is sure to change the conversation around syrup production and prove invaluable for both home-scale and commercial sugarmakers alike.

Download or read book Bigleaf Maple Sap Flow in Western Washington written by Andrew Nicholas Braun and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) is common on well drained soils in mixed conifer forests and along river terraces in Western Washington. Protected riparian buffers often include bigleaf maple stands, and producing syrup from the tree’s sap can provide revenue and incentivize maintaining forest cover on land that cannot be harvested for timber. Washington’s small forest landowners can face economic difficulties managing their land, and managing forests near streams is often complicated and avoided due to riparian buffer zones and other regulations. Development of forest land accounted for 400,000 acres of deforestation in Washington between 2007 and 2019, much of which resulted from economic pressure on forest landowners. Bigleaf maple sugaring could encourage mixed-species forest ownership and yield an ecological low-impact income from land that might otherwise be a net drain on cash for maintenance and property taxes. Bigleaf maple sap flow is not well documented, and there are key differences between its sap flow and that of eastern North America’s sugar maple (Acer saccharum) that must be understood if bigleaf maple syrup production is to become commercial in scale.In this study, tree-level bigleaf maple sap flow data from the University of Washington’s Pack Forest near Eatonville, WA was collected for three tapping seasons under high vacuum pressure. A positive correlation between tree diameter at breast height in centimeters and seasonal sap volume in liters was found (sap (l) = 0.22 * DBH (cm) + 1.04). Multi-stem clumps over 30 cm in diameter produced two to three times more sap per tap than individual trees of the same diameter, though taps on clumped stems were more variable. The seasonal sugar content of tapped stems ranged from 0.7% to 1.9%, averaging 1.3%. Sugar content varied with tree diameter but not canopy health, canopy position, or growth form. Sugar content was more similar within stems of the same clump than between clumps or between seasons. Freeze-thaw events were associated with high sap volume, though sap still flowed in low volumes on warmer days. A linear model relating daily weather from PRISM data at a 4km2 resolution to daily sap volume per tap was used to estimate statewide average sap flow potential per tap for each January 1 to March 1 tapping season from 2010 to 2020, and the ten season-long estimates were averaged. The model generally over-predicted sap volumes collected at eight sap collection sites in Western Washington by a factor of two, though harvested sap volume was within 14% of predicted for the most experienced and the only commercial syrup production site. The model therefore probably represents an upper limit on sap harvests achievable with tapping experience and high-power vacuum pumps. If only small, private forest land parcels with electricity are tapped, between 11,693 and 350,785 liters of bigleaf maple syrup could be produced annually in Western Washington depending on the percentage of feasible tapping sites that are utilized. These estimates range between $926,000 and $27.8 million based on 2022 bigleaf maple syrup retail prices. If bigleaf maple sugaring continues to develop, the industry could approach that of some of the Northeastern states’ maple harvest in terms of value.

Download or read book Nontimber Forest Product Opportunities in Alaska written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nontimber forest products from southern Alaska (also called special forest products) have been used for millennia as resources vital to the livelihoods and culture of Alaska Natives and, more recently, as subsistence resources for the welfare of all citizens. Many of these products are now being sold, and Alaskans seek additional income opportunities through sustainable harvest and manufacture of such forest resources. We discuss the unique legal, regulatory, land tenure, geographic, vegetation, and climatic context that southern Alaska presents for marketing nontimber forest products; summarize the various species and types of products being harvested; and consider the marketing challenges and opportunities new entrepreneurs will encounter. The information and resources we provide are intended to enhance income opportunities for all Alaskans, while sustaining the organisms harvested, respecting traditional activities, and ensuring equitable access to resources.

Download or read book Boiling Off written by John Hodgkins and published by Down East Books. This book was released on 2020-02-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1964 three cousins tapped three thousand sugar maples deep in the Maine woods. They called themselves Jackson Mountain Maple Farm. Boiling Off is the story of making Maine maple syrup commercially in Temple, Maine, for fifty-some years, and how a thirty-year technology revolution beginning in the 1980s changed the face of Maine sugaring forever. Woven into the story of Jackson Mountain Maple Farm is the history of Maine sugaring beginning in Farmington in 1781, when Stephen Titcomb boiled off the first official pure Maine maple syrup in a cast iron kettle. Boiling Off tracks the evolution of sugaring technology from Titcomb’s kettle to reverse osmosis and heat exchangers; follows sap gathering techniques from buckets and oxen-drawn drays to plastic tubing and vacuum pumps; and records production in Maine from 8,000 gallons of maple syrup in 1985 to 709,000 gallons in 2017. The story describes the subtleties of syrup flavor, how it is properly graded, and the art of making award-winning maple syrup. It also reveals who produces Maine maple syrup, where it is harvested, and how L. L. Bean first came to stock it on their shelves.
