Winterdance Maple Syrup – New
Spring 2017 saw Tanya and Hank excited to be continuing an 80 year family tradition of making Maple Syrup! Tanya’s Grandparents, Oscar & Emily McCready started making maple syrup in the 1930’s on their farm on Wolfe Island (part of the 1000 Islands in the St. Lawrence River) during the depression when sugar was a scarce commodity. Making maple syrup gave them sugar for their own use, but also for making baked goods for Emily to sell at the Kingston Farmer’s Market. Emily & Oscar’s children Winston, Evelyn and Eldon grew up making maple syrup and helped their parents continue the tradition as they started their own families and their children helped to. Spring brought the excitement to Tanya & her brother Ward of Maple Syrup time and going to the bush after school every day to collect the sap and bring it back for Grampa to boil down and then enjoy delicious treats that Gramma cooked with it!
