Another example of climate change and it will change the maple syrup industry, because it isn't efficient to try and collect a small amount of sap throughout the winter, rather than a large quantity during the winter thaw. Winter thaw is becoming quite short, which I think will be true this year as well. A natural sweetner - maple syrup - but getting more expensive due to climate change.

Last year I had a wonderful heart labyrinth on my front lawn, that I could walk & meditate. Isn’t it crazy though, that it can snow all day, and only get an inch of snow?

Just got our seeds in at the farm, we will be sorting them this week- I cannot describe how exciting it is, endless potential. The soil awaits us!
