About this episode
The episode discusses modern techniques for collecting maple sap, including a planned public demonstration of a tubing system.
Every spring, Kemp Station taps maple trees and produces a few gallons of maple syrup. In March 2026, we are planning a public demonstration project—moving beyond the simple sap buckets and sap bags—to a modern tubing system for gravity-flow sap collection.
