Jacob O’Brien, our photographer, decided to let us in on one of his favorite activities this week, which is making maple syrup. Through the process of collecting sap from trees, boiling it down, and bottling it, it is a lot of work but the rewards are sweet. Areas in Upstate New York and its neighbors are known for making maple syrup and many local companies sell their own syrup around Galway. If you liked this story come back next Wednesday to see what the EMC staff is doing in New York City and leave a comment below.
