From our forest, one drop at a time.
The availability of our bourbon infused syrup is a limited supply. It is becoming a more popular item as time goes on. We will increase inventory this year and a new batch should be ready by August.
To purchase any 24 ounce bottles of bourbon flavored syrup please contact me through this website , Facebook or text and I’ll have it ready for you.
Thank You!
We successfully cooked up another batch of Bourbon Infused Syrup! The product is aged for 4 months in a barrel from Great Northern Distilling. We have about 30 bottles left, They sell for $12.00 per 24 oz.
Another new feature we offer is payment by “Venmo”. Now for your convenience, you can pre pay or scan at the roadside. Look for the QR code on this website in the “Products/Pricing page or at the roadside stand.
Also again I’d like to thank all of you who have returned bottles, It so far has worked in the “Fight Inflation” campaign and preventing price increases.
We lost our beloved Ozzy on the morning of Aug 4th to a fatal injury. The upcoming time spent in the forest will be lonely without his presents, he was always by my side.
Rest in peace Ozzy, we will miss you!
Time to pour some hot syrup into a fresh dumped whiskey barrel!
This will then be stored for a few months to “infuse” some Bourbon flavor into a special batch of syrup.
A lot of folks do like the taste so I plan to do a batch yearly.
It should be ready in August.
Well, 2023 has been another record season for us! It was a shorter season and we began collecting sap on the 6th of March and it came to a screeching halt at about 5:45pm on Easter Sunday, April 9th. In that time period I will estimate about a 27 day run because of a few days that it didn’t get above freezing. However, many of the days it did run it was phenomenal! Total sap from 780 taps yielded 11,600 gallons!
I added a few new videos, so please go to our video page and check it out!
Were off to a good season! 4700 gallons as of yesterday, off a total of 780 taps. It seems like it has been a cold March so far but the local stats say we are 2 degrees warmer on average. We still have over a foot of snow in the forest and I think it helps things stay cooler, especially at night. The swings have been from lower 20s to around 40 for the last several days and looks good in the future. Ideal conditions!
Tapping was completed by the 3rd week in February since the weather and low snow cover allowed. Sap collecting started promptly on the 6th of March this season. last year was the 17th. Temperatures have been all over the scale but has allowed about 1500 gallons as of the 12th. Things are stalled again with the chill, sounds like things will run on Wednesday again.
Chores are getting more difficult with the deep snow-cover that we have received in the last two weeks , and it sounds like more is on the way.
Syrup prices will remain the same as previous years as long as the bottle return campaign keeps going and I thank everyone who has participated!
It is February 2nd and the local temperatures are forecasted to be in the mid to upper 30s. Well that means I will be out getting lines tightened up and perhaps getting an early start tapping.
Last season we processed and bottled ‘bourbon infused’ syrup and it has been a success! this season we will conjure up another batch.
Many updates to the website will be added this season, So please check in often!
We will be trying to get caught up with our website since nothing has been updated since 2020, been busy with a new building, dealing with the covid situation, and learning to add better features. There will be new pics and videos along with other handy information, so please check back in the future!
First thing… We would like to thank everyone for supporting our efforts through the years!
It has been a good off season with plans to expand the website. Sales have been steady and last August our syrup placed 4th at the Central Wisconsin State Fair here in Marshfield.
We plan to expand this summer with an indoor facility for the sap and syrup operation. Most of the operation has been outdoors since we started and were tired of battling the elements. Most of the time I enjoy working outdoors but when it freezes hard for a few days it is difficult to get things done with frozen valves, pipes, hoses and tanks.
This season has begun early! I began tapping trees on the 2nd of February (yes the sap was running!), with temperatures climbing to the mid forties. Since I can pull vacuum and sanitize lines it is an opportunity to get a jump on things.The trees will simply “nap” until the spring run begins.
