This year's flow comes with some challenges as producers deal with the impacts from the storm. With all the downed trees many maple syrup farmers lost part of their livelihood.“What made it worse was everything was tipped over,” he said.It took MacLean and his family about three months to get to a point where they were back up and running, but it will take years to fully clean up the mess that was left behind.
Darren Noble is another maple syrup farmer who owns Creekside Farm Maple in Blue Mountain. He said cleanup will be an ongoing effort.Noble had about 500 trees tapped for syrup before the hurricane. He estimated this year he will tap around 350-400. Noble chose the latter of the two choices and has been hard at work every day since trying to get ready for their first boil.One thing Darren wants people to know is that losing these trees isn’t the same as losing a crop that regrows every year.
