About Us
Anna & Harris
What began as a recreational weekend property in Masonville, NY, is quickly transforming into a passion for living off the land. "Anna's" meadow was started in 2017 and will feature wildflowers, vegetables and livestock in the future. Harris has begun the process of tapping Maple trees for Syrup production in 2019.
Excitement Is In The Air!
2021 was a great year on the farm! 2022 crop is here!!
Our Years In Review
2018
Our equipment shed was erected in the fall of 2017. A portion of Anna's Meadow will be cleared. A SugarHouse will follow in the Summer of 2018 to boil and evaporate Maple Sap into Syrup.
2019
150 trees tapped with a total of 175 taps producing 27 gallons of syrup.
2020
600 trees tapped with a total of 658 taps producing 112 gallons of syrup.
Anna's Meadow was de-stumped in the fall of 2019 and ready for grading in the late spring 2020
2021
Snowy start to the season, tapped trees in 3 ft of snow! We added a sap pre-heater powered by steam and forced air to more efficiently process sap, while maintaining our delicious flavor. We produced 88 gallons of syrup, as warm weather impacted the entire crop in North America.
2022
Take a look below! We added a new vacuum system and vac house! We love taking care of and working this land to produce a natural and delicious product! Enjoy and thank you for supporting us small, local farmers.
2023
