Boxler Maple Farm, is a family owned farm located in Western New York. Our family spends our time learning, growing, and working together to build a life we are proud of.
Wow, there was a lot to unpack in that video. My head is still spinning from hearing that they had been making syrup since 1620. Talk about some family history.
Glenn is a great guy
Yes he is!
Damn! That is an impressive operation! :)
Yes it is!
WOW Thank You Your the best
Thanks for watching!
5x larger than our maple place 😮
But look How young you are! Lol you might be twice as big as him someday.
Why is DE added?
@@gordybishop2375 Diatomaceous earth is used as a filter to remove solids and other contaminants and is removed in the filter process.Many consumable items you may use on a daily basis, like oils, fruit juices, syrup, sugar, honey, wine, beer, and more use DE.
@@MapleFarmer it sticks to other stuff to make it bigger so filter more easily captures it? A flocculant per-say. Great stuff to keep insects away too as I used some to get rid of the itty bitty Argentine ants. Thank you for replying.
This is a very good size operation. R/0 is impressive.
AWESOME LESSON OF LIFE .
Enjoyed the information. Thank you
Wow ! I'm about 45 minutes from them, but in Canada side ;)
Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for tuning in Josh!
Amazing. That's quite an operation!
Yes it is!
That is AMAZING. Thank you.
Thanks Becky!
great video,i never knew their were maple syrup producers that large.thanks
Thanks for letting us come along
Thanks for watching Jerry!
Wow that was incredible
Thanks for watching Rick
Thanks for sharing.
Cool vid.
Thanks for watching!
Wow! Awesome tour! What an operation!
Meet Glen at the NYS maple conference, 1st yr in Syracuse. Went to his seminar on high Brix/ high concentration, just for information and for laughs. Needless to say, we just finished our 4th season and made 180 gallons. Both you and Glen have made quite the investment. Really enjoy watching your new “shanty” come together.
Thanks for sharing!!
Thats how you give a sugar house tour thank you Glenn i greatly enjoyed your tour of your fantastic maple sugar house.
I need my dad or brother to watch this so they can get some tips on how to talk on camera! As it’s just not the same when your the tour guide and the camera person! 😂
@@MapleFarmer i wish they would get on camera Id love to learn of all the changes in production that have taken place sense I produced maple products in the early 80s back then maple syrup was sinful not healthy by the so called smart people
this guy is big scale
It February 15 and the saps been running for a couple of days.
I live on the 45 the parallel in Michigan and in 50 years have never started this early.
That is one very impressive operation.
They are a prime example of proper prior planning and meticulous organization of the process. They also show how planning and organization does not take away the human personal working, they aren't robots is what I am saying
Thanks for the tour !!
That was awesome!
Thanks for tuning in Tony!
Great interesting video as always , I thought I was the only one who puts Maple in my coffee it’s absolutely the best
the BEST!!!
That is an awesome video!
That was a fun tour!! Pure Maple Syrup...YUM!!! 🍁
Another great video Nikki. Tell Warren this is how he should answer your questions……. LOL 😂
😂😂
This video gave me goosebumps!! I had no idea that Glenn was this big and I've never really heard of Goodrichs' back in my Vermont days in the 70s and 80s....not in Cabot anyway. I did meet Glenn about 4 years ago at the Cabot location while he was doing their tours for the public....very nice guy as well as his wife, Ruth. I can see the roof of their sugar house from my grandparents old house as well as my camp just up the road in Marshfield....I can also see the house from their sugar house as well lol. As for maple in coffee, I thought I was one of the only ones that did that! Lol I'll drink it no other way! With that said, I go through A LOT of maple syrup. Like a gallon a month!
Best episode ever!!
Wow! What an operation! Thanks for taking us along on the field trip!
I always wondered what happened to Glenn and his Sugarbush. He made two videos the first two years he started this 6k acre project but hasn't posted anything since. I'm glad you went over there and made this video so we can see where he is with this project. Again great job Nikki and God bless you and your family.
I’ll have to visit next year for another Glenn Update as he plans on adding on another 30,000 this year!
I just never knew there was so much involved in making syrup. Very informative. Thanks.
Thanks for following along Tom!
the bigger operations have more going on than the smaller ones
Thanks for taking us along 👍
That was so informative and fun to watch. Wow!!!! that is a large operation with plenty of experience.
Thanks for tuning in! He is a wealth of knowledge!
Oh Wow ! Watching this makes me crave some decent, fresh, maple syrop over some pancakes and in my freshly ground and brewed coffee with some heavy cream in it !!! 👌👌👌👌😃😃😃 YUMMM !!!
Syrup in coffee is the BEST!!!
@@MapleFarmer It's so yummy ! I brew up some fresh French Vanilla coffee to put my fresh Maple syrop in. Yummmm ! 👌👌😃😃😃
@@MapleFarmer I agree!! 💯🎯 That's the only way I drink my coffee and I'll go through about 12 gallons of syrup a year lol!
That has to be a huge savings when you can bring all the sap to the plant without trucking it. Thanks for showing this!
We met Glenn this past January. He did a couple of great workshops at our Wisconsin Maple Syrup Producers Association Winter Institute. Enjoy your videos so much!!!!!
Thank you so much for watching Dennis and the kind words!
This was very cool, looking forward to your farm growing.
Might just have to move to Vermont so I can buy a mountain! Lol
Glen was my shop teacher and one of the best teachers and nicest guy you could meet
oouuu maple coffees! 🥰🍁☕️ sometimes.. I grind the cacao beans with the coffee bean then rock the maple with it oh my goodness totally learned a bunch watching this adventure 📚🐛 🙏
What an awesome incredible place, amazing the size and scope of the operation, Thank you for sharing, Nikki
Great tour! Enjoyed learning so much.
Thanks for stopping at Goodrich's! It is in our backyard here in VT. They put out excellent products.
🇺🇸 Wowzer, 150K tape that makes for a pile of trudging thru the snow for 5 +/- months 🤪😳🤣
Not sure how I found your channel but I have enjoyed watching how this is done. I ordered a bottle that arrived so quickly and I took a few swigs and omg! It is the best maple syrup I have ever had! Thank you! Keep up the great videos.
Thank you so much for watching and trying put our maple syrup! We appreciate you!
AWESOME field trip today!
I would have enjoyed seeing a short tour of their maple forest.
Wow! Another a very informative video. It would be very interesting to see what happens to the syrup you produce once it leaves your facility.
I agree! I want to see if I can setup a video tour of one of the large packers/distributors we sell to!
Thank you Nikki, very interesting. I thought you guys were big wow. They have a lot more help though.God Bless.
great video loved the tour!
Awesome vid, I used to help my uncle in the 60,s collect sap with a horse drawn sleigh, you are an inspiration to the maple producer's across the north American landscape. Keep up theses vids as they instill the concept of the American dream as result of Hard work .
Thank you so much for the kind words! I hope to visit a lot more sugar makers and showcase hobby makers to the worlds largest and everything in between!
@@MapleFarmer I await the additional content as you are the epidemy of the American dream of hard work produces Gaines beyond the norm of todays society
Truly impressive, thanks for sharing!
😯WOW
In addition to being an inspirational and educational video, best part was your description of the benefits of maple sugar, I put maple syrup in my coffee today, it is now my go to sweetener!
super
Thank you for sharing, that is one very large operation! In the time it takes me to finish my first cup of coffee they make a couple barrels of syrup. That is insane.
Well, this is too funny. I'm sitting here eating a small piece of Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar cheese with my coffee. What's in the coffee? Maple Syrup and Hazelnut creamer.
This operation, as to # of trees tapped, makes me wonder how many trees are tapped further North in VT on Rte 114 between Island Pond and Canaan. I pass miles and miles of lines all gravity fed to tanks along the hill sides.
Awesome video!!!
do you follow New York Farm Girls? their family is a Cabot dairy farm. They also have a pumpkin patch with stuff that would taste yummy with delicious NY syrup.
WOW - what a setup. Imagine not having to trunk your syrup?
Thanks for sharing! That’s a pretty big operation, there are several big operations in Vermont. From what I’ve heard this was a pretty good season! Don’t forget about the Vermont Maple Festival coming up this weekend in St.Albans Vermont! Have a good day.
From Northwestern Vermont
I won't be there this weekend but from what I hear it's a good time!
Thanks for bringing us along! I love seeing/visiting various sugar shacks. If you’re ever in Maine, check out Hill Top Boilers in Newfield, ME., another wonderful operation. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks for tuning in! I’d love to tour a bunch of different places - if you know of any sugar makers who wouldn’t mind me touring and videoing their place let me know! Preferably north as Its tough to get away while our season is in progress.
wow you were so close to us up here. hope you enjoyed the trip. 😊 there's a bigger sugar maker in northern Vermont i believe they have 300k+ taps
Whom is it?! Maybe I can schedule a trip to go visit their place and get a tour!!
@@MapleFarmer sweet tree, island pond vermont. I believe they are located in the old ethan allen plant up there. They are closing in on over 460k taps i guess now. You can look them up an decide. Idk if it would be as fun or personal like going to the goodrich sugar makers. Take care and ill look for the next video
@@350mack I just looked them up. I believe they are owned by M&T bank. I'd be interested in seeing that operation
I did not have any idea about that much maple syrup was being made per year. Thank You for sharing this with us 👍
Thanks for watching David!
3:49 i can hear your dad over the filter press
Your team produces mapl syrup...Whee did you get the higher education you need for this job?A you an engineer?A technologist?Or....? I ❤Maple Syrup!!🥞👍👍👍😋
Such a far cry from the sugaring operations of my youth. Buckets, wooden tomahawk tanks, boiling eggs and hot dogs in the pans heated by wood in the quiet of the sugar house. You should find an operation like that next spring to document as it is obviously a dying breed.
Yes I want! I wanted to this year but I don’t know any backyard hobby sugar makers! If there is one on here that wouldn’t mind me visiting please let me know!
Amazing video! I would love to know how many workers it take to managed 4,000 acres of trees.
Absolutely fascinating
Thank you!
Has anyone ever invented Maple Wine?
Excellent video. Thank for the tour. Where in Northern Vt. is this location?
Eden VT
It would be neat to see how they do there taps
Most operation s
10,000 gallons of syrup is 3 times more than
Does the taste of Maple syrup vary much from different states and regions of states. Any difference between Canada syrup and USA syrup. How many USA states produce syrup? Back in late1970's I got a consumers education on maple syrup from a general store in Manchester, Vermont. I believe the owner was a transplanted business man from NYC. Love your enthusiasm!
Here at Blue Eye Maple Syrup, in Western Pa. I ship my bulk syrup to New Hampshire, Nikki where does your bulk end up at?
At about 5mins in the video where does Glenn get the tri clamp sight glasses for that tank? I’ve been looking and looking and can’t find those anywhere.
Do you know if they give tours like that at other times to other people to?
I know you would of been asked before but could you please explain brick? Great work on your videos
Yes I will! As I want to do a video rocking the entire Reverse osmosis process in more detail!
@@MapleFarmer sounds great will be looking forward to watching cheers
Nikki, this tour reminds me of a question I've had but never have asked ( although it may have been answered in the past ) , approximately how many acres of woods are you using that contain the 30000 taps ?
I’ve made maple syrup for the first time in my life and I loved the process. Of course it’s only for consumption but the concept is the same. Mine turned out much darker though. Is the production syrup still at 66 bricks?
Fing crazy
Pretty incredible!
@@MapleFarmer still be proud of your operation your grampa Hans wood be proud!
How many gallons did you end up making this year? And how many gallons were made on your new steam pan?
How concentrated is the sap before you boiled it?
I have 90 taps, lol.
That size barrel is used due to the weight of the syrup?
So with your new steam evaporator you’re running a hyper brix RO?
I’m still stuck on Boxler Maple Syrup
We appreciate you!!
How many workers does it take to tap 150,000
Interesting but nothing I can learn here to use in my 200 tap operation.
@MapleFarmer What happens to the water from the RO?
It was noted in the video I believe. It is used for other tasks.
used to clean equipment and anything that needs cleaning!
@@MapleFarmer I thought I heard that but wondered if that water had even the slight bit of residual sugar it in. Guess not. Thanks. Fascinating videos on this channel.
So I have a question ,do u run sap all year long for this or only a few months ?
Only a few months. The season is usually sometime around January through the end of March
I worked in food processing plant ...we would have been in big trouble to be eating near a open product .
This is all bulk product and is reprocessed into other products and packaged for distribution.
Low on the glycemic index? That's hard to believe.
I think he might have meant to say “lower “ 54 G.I for maple vs glucose which is 100.
this shi+ is way to technical for me to understand but hey i am from Britain and i still do not get it
Where is senator Bernie Sanders and Republican governor Scott our Canadian family and friends and relatives across Canada really like Vermont and the politicians in Vermont because they are not bought by big money donors and try to look after the people who put them in office
