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.
Tried to be more informative this video! If you have any questions ask away! We now also have the glass quarts back in stock! 😄
That was very informative and impressive set up!
I just ordered 2 gallons. I’ve never had pure maple syrup, hope I like it.
Would like to see the bottling process
@@kennethheern4896 Thank you for choosing to support our family business!
@@kevinsmith4853 Thank you for following along Kevin!
That’s a really impressive set up 👍
Thanks so much! We’ve worked hard to get here.
The best explanation of the equipment yet
Starting to feel guilty about my bed time😂 you all are amazing
I collected 5 gallons of sap and boiled it down over a fire, took all day and only had enough syrup for two servings of pancakes! I have so much respect for your operation! Thanks for sharing
Good morning it's been a long time since I've seen you in a video doing what you do best I'll keep looking thanks for the content
Lot of things to watch and do to keep the wheels on the wagon. Massive gallons per man hour, but requires full attention. No room for big mistakes.
So much different than my little hobby production. Thanks for another great video Nikki.
Great videos! My wife and I really enjoy watching how your tree to finished syrup operating Flows. We put our syrup in bulk storage containers and bottle or process as needed. Love the "Shanty" Our season here in Central Wisconsin has been so so slow. Stay safe!
Nice maple Farmer story...
Great video, and you all are doing awsome! Very informative, and what a difference in the last 20 years of technology. I learned a lot as a Vermont viewer. Thank you
Thank you so much for tuning in! At some point I want to try to gather photos from our past production process to show a time line of how we evolved!
Awesome video 👏👏👏 Love how dad is part of it too. He seems really down to earth and understands 2022 technology. Way to go dad..!!
Another great video Nikki!!.. Thanks for taking us along during your nightshift. Have a great week..
Thanks for tuning in Terry!
This whole process fascinates me! So happy to be learning something new. I have a great appreciation for how hard your family works.
Thank You for letting us visit your sugar maple farm
Thanks for following along David!
What a sweet operation, very cool. Nice day today. I got my jug of Boxler syrup couple weeks ago, can't wait to crack into that this weekend.
Hey Craig! Thank you so much for choosing to support our family business and for tuning in!
Thumbnail=fire. 😊😊😊great video!
Thanks for watching Brian!
Fascinating process. I especially like the barrel overflow technique. 👍️
I have always enjoyed your videos and learning. Somethings new. About what y'all doing and how much work y'all are putting into it.
That building is OUTSTANDING! It makes the CDL look small. When are you switching over to steam boiling and what do you use for fuel for that system? Also would love to see the R.O. Room in operation
Thanks Guys,,Take Care
Love the videos, keep em coming! You might have already explained it but how does the weather and temperature effect the sap? Also I received my order from you guys and It is amazing, this was my first taste of 100% real maple syrup and I will never go back! All I can say is Aunt Jemima is gonna have to step up her game and lose about a hundred ingredients to even be in the same conversation as you guys. If anyone has the means I highly recommend picking some up, it is so choice 👌
Thank you for sharing your filter cleanup process. Much easier and cleaner than what we've been doing.
Thanks for watching!
The entire operation from sap collection, to boiling/filtering to final product is amazing. Great video. You looking forward to turkey season? Dumb question, I know you are. Lol!! 😁
turkey season is y favorite hunting season!
Awesome video. The last part reminds me when we cleaned up the cider mill and everything connected to it. It looks as if y'all have a bunch of cleaning up to do every night!
The clean up is the worst part as there is so much to do
You might want to mention that the reason you monitor the temperature as a proxy for sugar content is that as the syrup gets more concentrated, the boiling temperature goes correspondingly higher. It might be illustrative to stick a thermometer in the other stages in the evapourator pan to show the temp higher in each successive stage. Thanks for the videos, very interesting to see how high-tech the business has become.
I have so many video idea but it's hard to do when I'm working since I have to focus on making maple syrup and can't focus on video content! :(
I watched my uncle make maple syrup back in the late 1940’s, he’d run the hot syrup through a heavy cloth bag then it would be canned. Not quite the same process today where purity is the highest priority. Thanks for a interesting and informative video.
We used to use those clothes way way back in the day before we went large scale!
Always love a lady wearing a Winchester hat
Love the videos used to live in northern ny and was the "boiler" for our syrup operation boiled lots of syrup with our leader 5x14 wood fired evaporator..... I sure miss it.... Keep the videos coming...
We use a painters mixer on the end of a cordless drill to mix the draw off bins. Saves lots of time.
My wife LOVES maple syrup. I just ordered her a gallon for her birthday.
I enjoy watching I know it's a lot of work I thank you
Thank you for watching Rick!
As soon as the L & XL shirts are restocked, I'm going to order a couple.. Love the stocking hats I got!!..
Thank you! I should have new shirt designs coming... as soon as I have a moment to sit down and design some! 😂
@@MapleFarmer Awesome!. Thanks Nikki!. The "I'd Tap That" style are pretty cool too.🤣
Thank you for sharing
Awesome. I remember the days of the Maple Festival in Chardon, Ohio. Great to see larger way.
You work long hours for sure with no coffee either. Reminds me of the Army.. Great video! Impressive timber frame building! An electric pressure washer might work well for cleanup. I made the maple wine.. it should be ready to bottle by turkey season. Hang tough
We have a pressure washer but it reserved for tough jobs!
@@MapleFarmer Roger that.. curious, how long is your building? Building something similar this summer
Sweet lookin' Gal! - prolly smells like Maple syrup.
Great vids,
Glad you like them!
Awesome process! Would love to know where the steam is going? It seems like in the new building there is no pipe going out of the building. Amazing video as always :)
There is something sweeter than Maple Syrup bringing people here ;-)
Beautiful video. Thank you.
Short maple season for sure, there was no graduation in cooler temperatures to warm, everything is feeling that….. disease and pest pressure will be high this year….
I visit a couple nearby that are maple syrup producers and when customers stop into the sugar shanty and see them add the white powder to the syrup, they jokingly tell them that it is Cocaine. Love the maple syrup videos 👍
🤣🤣
You would need to charge a little bit more to cover the costs.🤣
Would love to see a diagram of the boiler and the path the sap goes from back to forward as it concentrates to syrup. Obviously can see it when not boiling from side. Thank you
I bet it smells good outside, when you are boiling. I received my syrup, sampled it, very good. Thank you.
It’s smells amazing in the shanty!
Curious how production is this year also is the season about over? This is something I I’ve come to look forward to watching you all January February March and hopefully April
Amazing. I wonder if it is possible to make syrup out of any other trees, or only just Maples. Best wishes.
Love watching your operation.
Great video!
Thanks for watching Joanne!
great video nikki
Thanks for watching Zena!
Does the used diatomaceous earth get recycled/cleaned for reuse?
Boiler runs on liquid petroleum?
Thanks for the videos, feels like we're a little part of your enterprise. You're always smiling and bright.
I like the mix and match evaporator, a CDL frame/base and Dominion&Grimm pans and domes.
Nice operation, too bad it's in NY. Signed Vermonster :)
😂 we will be visiting Vermont soon!
Good video I'm from Rochester NY 💯🔥💯 used to do small scale syrup boiling ❤️❤️❤️
Fun to watch!!
love the video got a great maple syrup education and nikki your smile can make my day turn around so cute keep up the great content
Thanks so much for tuning in Scott!
wow that a lot of work
Some data on composition of the syrup would be very interesting.
I milled black birch logs for a client a few years ago. The air was filled with a scent just like birch berry soda. Wonder if anyone has ever tried making syrup from black birch sap?
hi there WOW this aint no small ma pa operation . nice well done john
WOW Yummy !
The syrup probably too ;-)
Nice looking syrup I can just imagine what the shanny smells like I think I will have pancakes and syrup for supper tonight
Are you participating in any of the Maple Weekend Open Houses? Would love to stop by and talk with you guys and check out the new sugar house.
We are not as our building is still under construction!
@@MapleFarmer looks amazing already. Good luck on your season!
I love your videos!!! I’m familiar with automation equipment, I recognize that actuator used on your valve, where your hydrometer is. I’m going to buy some yummy Maple Farmer Syrup.
Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you so much for watching Tommy and for choosing to support our family business!
Great information! Thanks for teaching me a little. Surprised Im not to far from you on the Canuck side across the Rainbow Bridge. Question..so the sap loaded into the large tanks outside goes directly into the evaporator? Where it is then boiled to 222 degrees. I bet it smells wonderful in the sugar shack?? 👍👍👍. Everyone remember thumbs up. 👍👍👍
Love that hair colour. Looks more auburn than before. I can't imagine the cost of burning that pan setup! How many trees do you tap?
I like a woman who knows how to wear a baseball cap and you look good
not going to lie... I wear it because I'm too lazy to put on makeup while I farm 😂
I’m to lazy to put on make up. Lol! Niki you are one of the hardest working ladies I know. I really enjoy the maple sugaring videos! Make sure you guys get your rest. God bless!
@@MapleFarmer not a bit lazy you just have amazing natural beauty which I'm sure you know. We just Respect the work you put in.
I am glad that is not me paying for ALL that Equipment you must have 2-3 million
Hi Nikki, what do you use for fuel and how can you run out of it? Can the diatomaceous earth be cleaned and reused or is it thrown out? Why do you have to work so late into the night, is it because once you start there is no stoping? It's been enjoyable for me to learn a little about the Maple Syrup business and your way of life. You certainly have to be the best looking Maple Syrup cooker in the business. Thanks....
Nice job!
You have a great channel.
I’ve been trying to find the quick connect fittings you’ve discussed in previous videos. Could you possibly provide a link to them?
Got them from our local CDL dealer
Thanks very much
Wow i'm here for the trees promise! 😇 lol
Hmmm, no wedding ring. Suddenly liking maple syrup videos….
I kid, I kid….
that's because wearing a ring on the farm is more of a hazard than a help 😂 I used to have silicon ones but they all broke
Got my order in last week the pancakes are delicious with your syrup on them 😋 ✌️
what a great spokesperson for your product, intelligent, knowledgeable, and cuter than hell!!
I use DE and it's not white like that, must be the different brands. I LOVE MAPLE SYRUP the good stuff is so expensive in Kentucky
It’s expensive because it’s expensive to produce! And lots of manual labor.
Why did the bumblebees couldn't come out side because it's to cold
I'd like to see in detail of how the filters work and what was being pushed out of the framework. I'm visually impaired so it takes me time to see things. I watch things 3 times or usually more to figure out what is going on.
Thank you Nikki. I never get tiered watching you. Very interesting video. Hot long hours for you, and brother.
One drawback I see to going large like your family business is not really getting to visibly see the sap as it goes through the evaporator. Although when we ran our 2’ by 7’ it was all flat pans, and we had no electricity at the sugar shack, so we also did not have a steam away. You could watch the sap the whole through. We haven’t run our small set up like that for a few years, (200 or so 3/16 taps on gravity lines down hill), and now I just boil in a couple of buffet pans with 12 to 15 taps. Make a few gallons, chilling out while doing so, and bottle it up in etched glass for giving away a bunch to friends and co workers. I do stop while out on patrol at some of the bigger (and smaller) sugar houses in our area and talk to the owners and see how their season is going. Sometimes pick up some new bit of info I did not know of before as well. You guys have a pretty awesome large scale set up. It is nice for your family that their children are still into helping with it. Real big question time, did you and or your brother stray away from wanting to help boil, or just avoid sap season in general in your teen years? This is part of the reason we stopped boiling in my woods below us. Kids no longer wanted to hang around or were busy with sports and homework, etc. shack is a bit out of the way if there is still snow on the ground so it is even tough to get the “pop ins” from friends and neighbors.
Is the maple syrup season doing better then you expected a few weeks ago? Also it be nice if you could mention the date of the actual date of the filming of the video i know with editing and life many videos come out weeks later
My videos are only about a week behind so anywhere from 3-7 days after filming!
Nice video.
👍super
When the one neighbor firing with wood runs out of wood it's either a mad dash to cut some dead standing evergreens or call it a season.
My son wants to know if your married. And if you like homesteading. And planting trees. And organic gardening
How many hours does the typical run time last each day when the sugar shanty is active?
We know you folks wrap up for the day about the time most of us are 3/4 through a good nights sleep.
Typically Anywhere from 6-14 hours depending how the sap is flowing!
What do you use to heat the building? Floor heating?
Hopefully NYS doesn’t drive the maple syrup industry out of NY like so many other industries.
Stupid question….. can you store the raw sap and boil at a later date? I know you stated previously that you have a FT job in Marketing and you father & brother work FT on the dairy farm. Could you boil for a few hours each night in order to get proper rest?
I am speculating that due to cost increases such as the fuel oil used to run the evaporator and fuel in the truck to haul the sap and pretty much everything else around costing more, the price of maple syrup is on its way up as well ?
Yes, I’ve been hearing some people say they are expecting it to double in price 😳
You think fuel costs a lot. You should see chimneys, through the roof!
How is the season turning out so far for you guys we are having a normal year so far not like last years disaster
She is beautiful
Those filter cartridge thingies look heavy when full.
Can you show what fires the evaporator, and where is the chimney?
if your syrup tests too heavy to sugar coming off the evaporator what do you do?
I'll make a video today explaining this!
If I drop a cookie crumb in my house I'll have ants that day, how do you keep from having ants with all that syrup on all that equipment?
I'll also ask. What type of "fuel" do you use?
Diesel fuel
such a puzzling complicated process Maple i wont lies to ya all i dont get it?? but hey forgive my ignorance as i am British
Sugar shack , cool
Can you use the diatomaceous earth again?
Where are you located? Your store says products can be picked up locally.
