Goal: $2,300
This year for Giving Tuesday, we are raising half of the cost needed to purchase a pan upgrade for our maple syrup operation. Over the last few years, we have begun to really learn the process of cooking down maple sap into delicious syrup. Looking to fine tune our efforts and alleviate the staff time needed in the sugar shack, we would like to purchase a high output evaporator pan. This will double our evaporation rate, if not more! This will lessen the hours needed for staff to man the sugar shack and increase the opportunity to include the students in the evaporation process. Previously, it has been just too much time to keep them out of the classroom. With the process moving along more quickly, our students will participate more in this aspect of the job.
