How We Built Our Raised Beds (Part One)

We decided to tap some of the maple trees on our property to make maple syrup!  It actually worked out really well, so this episode of the podcast talks all about it.  We turned about 50 gallons of maple sap into about 1 gallon of syrup, but it was definitely worth it and I am pretty sure we will do it again next year.  After listening to this episode, you'll know whether or not it's a self-sufficient activity you'd like to add to your homestead calendar!
