Schoff's maple syrup is delicious! Two weekends a year in March this family open's their processing of maple syrup to the public. It takes about 50 gallons of maple tree sap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup. The owner is a school teacher and he does this as his hobby. He learned the trade when he was a boy by helping his grandfather.

When I said shack I mean "shack." Mr. Schoff out front of his processing plant. There were 3 adults and 2 children in the shack with us and it was crowded. His goal was to make 450 gallons of maple syrup this year in this little shack.

Did you get to eat some freshly made? It's so good with home made donuts! I could drink the stuff. You are right, Elder McVea does look good!
