Aberdeen Farms - Maple Syrup

My parents have moved to upstate(ish) New York to my Stepmom's childhood home, Aberdeen Farms. Over the last two years or so they have turned it into a working farm. Aberdeen Farms has Chickens (for eggs), Goats (for Milk), organic gardens (for vegetables), Bees (for honey) and now- Maple Syrup (for pancakes).

I've been providing what help I can with the operations from a distance, but this winter I was able to visit and get my hands dirty. In between catching up with my family and family friends, I helped with sap collection and Syrup making, and took some pictures and (terrible) video. 


Our next challenge: selling 500 bottles of delicious, organic, locally-grown Maple Syrup from one of the finest farms in the Northeast. You can purchase syrup here: http://www.aberdeenfarmmaple.com/
