Boxler Maple Farm, is a family owned farm located in Western New York. Our family spends our time learning, growing, and working together to build a life we are proud of.
This is amazing! I was happy that my 5 trees produced 88 gallons of sap, boilied down to 2.25 gallons of syrup this year. You guys probably spill that much filling the trucks lol.
So great to see a father and daughter working together wife and I owned our a small business and work side by side for over 20 years always wanted to work with our daughters bull never happened sorry to say and now that I’m retired one of our daughter’s bought a small cattle farm around 10 head that her and I work together
That’s awesome! My two sisters moved away from the farm, but as for myself I couldn’t imagine not working on the farm. I moved away and worked in the city for a few years and hated every minute of it so I came back to the farm! 🙂
What an amazing operation! Thanks for showing us all of those aspects of making maple syrup!
Thanks for tuning in!
You guys work your butts off. You can almost smell the syrup. Thanks for sharing
Brilliant
She is beautiful, smart, and an amazing worker!! What a great life!!! 👍
The amount of stainless steel in that operation is staggering! May God bless you with a great sap season!!
Thank you so much!
that place must smell AWESOME!
It does!
Thank you! I asked, and you delivered! :)
Thanks for tuning in! If there is something else you’d like to see let me know!
That process from tree to table is amazing! Hope you all have a great maple season! Great video!
Thanks for tuning in!
I grew up on a dairy farm here in Tennessee, those large vacuum pumps bring back memories of the milk barn. Great video!
HOW INTERESTING!!! AMAZING!!! THANK Y'ALL FROM REPUBLIC OF TEXAS
Thanks for watching John!
Hi Nikki. WOW, your snow has really melted away!!.. Much easier for you to walk and check the lines.. As a matter of fact, I'm enjoying some fine Boxler Maple Syrup on some blueberry waffles tonight!!.. Good stuff, that Boxler Maple Syrup!!.. ;) ;) Always enjoy your videos Nikki.. Have a nice week..
I'm 57, grew up in Quebec where every spring was time to head to the Sugar Shacks. Our favourite shack was in Sainte-Thérèse. They not only offered all sorts of maple products, but would feed you as well. Scrambled eggs, thick cut bacon, home fries & hash browns, baked beans, fresh baked bread, pancakes, waffles, and every kind of pie imaginable. After you finished gorging on all food, they took you outside. They had troughs about waist high all around the Shack that they would fill with corn snow & they'd pour strips of maple toffee on the snow, give you popsicle sticks & cut you loose. Great family time memories. Think I'm going to go make some scrambled eggs and bacon now. Nikki, you're a breath of fresh air, keep it up!
Thank you so much for the kind words and that food sounds amazing!
Hello My name is Warren just like Warren your brother. I am from Indiana just east of Norther Dame about 30 miles. My Grandpa made maple syrup on a 40 acre woods. About 65 years ago by himself. He would flip if he saw how syrup is made now. Sunrise metal is a little south of me. Your operation is amazing. Grandpa had a tractor and a tank on a old trailer not sure how many buckets he had. I miss those days now, roasting hot dogs and marsh mellows. This is supposedly true. My old uncles would sometimes dress out a chicken and roll it in the wet clay dirt then throw it in the fire box. Then take it out and bust the dirt off with a hammer and then eat it. Just a little bit of memories of my past. Your vids are really great. Keep up the hard work.
I love hearing other peoples stories I find them so interesting. Great memories! Thank you for sharing
Why don't yall have Covers over your sap tank?
These videos should be shown in every school in America. Wow. To think we just buy syrup in the grocery store. Great job guys. Keep it up please. (I love syrup).
Good moning Romania 🇹🇩❤️👋 Marius super 👋
The awkwardness has always been so real. The learning curve has not. From tree to pancake. Excellent!
I wish everyone a good maple season! That’s a beautiful sugar house you have. I don’t think a lot of people realize how much time and money is involved
My folks in western MN have just started boiling sap.
wishing you all a great season!
thank you! that was awesome to see. I need to get back to work now after watching
Thanks for watching and have fun at work!
Now I am hungry for cakes! I just bet that is some very tasty syrup. I think I will order some. I like the small family operation.
Thank you so much for tuning in Lars!
I grew up on a dairy farm in Massachusetts, unfortunately those days have passed. Thanks so much for sharing your ventures in producing maple syrup . Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you for tuning in! I'm thinking about sharing the dairy side of our operation during the summer months!
Those days have passed on to massive farms. But those days will come back. Globalism is dying.
wow,,i stay down here it was 73 today,,y'all going to have a sale shop in there were you can buy stuff shirts,syrup, all kind of good stuff,,looks like liquid Gold,,take care guys
Super models work too. Thanks for the great video and edu.
That’s awesome! Not at all like it was when I was a kid in the 50’s. 😂
We've been doing a lot of updating these days!
What an awesome setup! You people have that down to a science. Hope you have a great season!
My goodness what a beautiful maple syrup lady 😍
Excellent work putting this together Nicky.
Woods to Waffles! Fascinating video on BOMS production! Our next pancake breakfast is going to be that much sweeter knowing the work, laughter and investment the Boxlers put into the quart of syrup on our table.
Amazing operation. My Dad used to make maple syrup on our dairy farm in the Eastern Townships Quebec when I was young. I have some memories of those times. Those days were great times with Dad in the woods collecting sap and watching the syrup flow into the jugs.
Keep up the great work!
My recollection is from 60-70 years ago on my uncle’s farm. What you can’t capture is the wonderful smell of boiling sap in the “sugar house”. My uncle had wood fired stove below the evaporator pans.
we upgraded from wood fire in 2018! Such great memories
Really neat to see such a big operation, thank you for showing us around! We operate a small family sugar bush, the process is the same but we go about it on a smaller scale.
Pretty cool
This operation is outstanding, my neighbor has a sugar shack and I’ll sit with him for hrs making syrup great fun making it . Your operation is just out of this world on how you pick up the sap
She is absolutely stunningly beautiful gorgeous❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️😍🥰😘
I gotta be honest, I didn’t click because of syrup..... stunning!
I signed up for a email to get in the loop for the new batch. We love the videos
Thank you! I appreciate you!
Every time that I watch a new to me form of farming I am amazed at the huge variety of task that a person needs to do, and that some from a person who worked in farming and ranching for 25 years. That speaks highly to the experience of you all, because experience makes a job look easy and matter of fact.
BTW, that was a no joke electric motor in the Sap Shed that you got sap from.
As a kid I remember collection by buckets and boiling with fire in huge pots.
Wish there was a heart button and not just a thumbs up for these videos.
Thank you so much for watching James!
You guys have a really cool set up, impressive 👍😋
Thank you!
Thank you Nikki, that was so interesting. God Bless you.
Super fascinating process! Thank you!!
That's quite an impressive operation you have there - you have (need!) all those fancy gadgets us small producers salivate over. Though, no matter how big or small the operation the process and principles are always the same. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for following along!
Wow, what an operation. So interesting. Loved seeing you hop up in that big truck like you have been doing it forever.
Thank you so much for watching! We are working on it!
Awesome presentation. That’s a complex equipment trail for sugaring. Thanks.
ALL due respect to you, and your father, and with no creepy intentions, you are beautiful.
That is impressive!!👍
That is so cool!!!! I've been making maple syrup the last three years and it is so much fun and tastes soooo good. I just get a few gallons of syrup. Nothing like your operation. 🙂
Amazing setup
Very informative! Good luck this season Boxlers!!!!!
Thanks Steven!
Grew up lovin maple syrup. Thanks for the informative video as your videos always are!
Hey Chris, Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting and entertaining
Very interesting. Thank you.
Thank you for tuning in!
I wonder how many people have an idea how much work goes into making syrup?
I only had a tiny idea. Then I learned so much more watching your videos. Thank you for educating me, I enjoy learning.
Thank you for tuning in!
@@MapleFarmer I look forward to watching the new videos.
many thanks for sharing the process thanks from ZA
Good work and looking lovely
Thank you for sharing what you do in farming and making Maple Syrup, not an easy job. Thank goodness for farmers like you guys Maple Syrup is just the best. I’m in Australia so the real thing not the substitute is expensive but well worth it.
Great job 👏 😊
Thank you so much for showing me such a high tech facility!!!
I love pure maple syrup!!!
You’re pretty Awesome!!!
Thank you so much for watching Tommy!
Wow, thats a very elaborate "Sap Set-up", compaired to the ones here in west central Wisconsin.
Sometimes I miss WNY. I haven't been back in nearly 20 yrs. As a kid I spent a LOT of time in the passenger seat of a milk truck in those hills.
NY was a beautiful state!
@@MapleFarmer still is, if you can get rid of the NYC politicians....
Cool video.
Great video! Nice looking syrup.
Thanks for tuning in!
Excellent
Love the videos!
Thanks so much for tuning in David!
I was at my neighbors sugar shack yesterday, same process but in a small version ( 8.000 tap ) ;) Couple years ago I took picture of them in action from A to Z and even took a photo of the 3 generations of sugar maker. Once a while I go and help them tapping and all that, I even pick up some water with bucket on the old farm sugar shack, that was something. Couple years ago I did a kind of documentery on How to make maple sirop, because I had a french Canadian friend living in Singapour and she ask me to explain with photo the hole processus to show Singapour people. they were amaze because they only thing they were tapping in their country was tree to make rubber :) Not the same smell :) :)
That’s one thing I love about maple farmers most operations are all work with their family!
I just got my order yesterday. Can't wait for some pancakes this weekend
woo hoo!! Thank you for choosing to support our family business Matt!
Wowww. Very Cool story.
In between the tree and table sure is alot of serious dedication to get a good bottle of syrup. Its good that your honest about driving in a White Out... doesnt pay to be a hero in the ditch.
Gonna have to get some Boxler Syrup now !!
*For some reason the link above wasn't working.
Oh no! I'll check out the linked see if I can figure out why it's not working!
I spent 34 years making reverse osmosis water filters. You are using what we called a fullfit element. The concept behind them is you end up using the concentrate as your product. Instead of just the opposite on a regular osmosis filter where the concentrate gets dumped to the drain. I may have even made the filters your using.
I'm thinking with all that distilling it can not be a long step to making maple syrup brandy....., now that's a thought! Thank you for the video.
I bet it smells great working. Dreaming about pancakes and waffles.
I get the reverse osmosis from our local sugar shack when I run low on a boil, my God does it make the difference when you're breaking down 98%... p.s. you're face is very easy and enjoyable to watch smile... great video.
Pretty automated the whole process from harvesting to final syrup ready for your pancakes!in my youthdays late 60s we walked around the sugar bush with a small tankcart emptying buckets from the trees never ending backbreaking work!
Still have to walk the entire sugar bush to manually tap trees and fix lines. We used to use buckets but once you expand enough you need to use tubing rather than buckets
Great video
Thanks for watching!
Very cool business and I wish I was a part of your production!
0:19 - You caught Woody lol'ing in the backround from that pun.
Good vidio thank for explaining things
Thank you for tuning in!
Good video. This is a type of business video that would be reassuring to banks and to potential investors. The family knows what they're doing. Their equipment looks clean and hygienic, kept clean, and functioning. No sign of filth, dirtiness, or anything unhealthy. You are assured that the maple syrup being distilled into the clean steel drums are quality product, clean and safe to consume, nonadulterated with additives and chemicals and delicious.
Like any good, well-run family business, you don't stop at 5:00 pm. You stop when the job is done. It's somewhere during the night when everything is finished. Even the pretty, industrious, family daughter spokeswoman, despite her smile late at night, cannot hide her exhaustion.
wow outstanding
Looks like you could use a couple loads of gravel around the silo's.
we keep adding some but it keeps disappearing into the mud! Trying to fix it is getting expensive real fast!
@@MapleFarmer I understand freeze thawing is the worst. Try some fabric or geo-grid underlayment.
Send some west, got the pancakes ready.

Quite the setup! Saw the place steaming pretty good on my way home from work the other day and couldn't help but wonder when you'll be open to the public? Or is that not in the plans ?
I only have 4 Treesibtap and I boil it on my kitchen stove. Lol
8:43, O'Keefe's Working Hands!
awesome video! how often you need to clean the plate press, and can use the grit for any thing.
Nikki how long does it take if your silos are full of sap to boil it down? Also how warm is the syrup when it goes in the barrels after the filter press?
Yummy ! 😃 This reminds me of those Days of "Cabane a Sucre," in Montreal, Quebec. Soooo much eating and selling of Maple Sugar based products. Most of the local farmers of maple Syrop in Quebec Province open up restaurants and you can go and get eggs, and bacon and sausages boiled in fresh, hot Maple Syrop. You can also get baked beans in Maple Syrop, and Panacakes - mounds and mounds of them ! Yum ! 👌👌 Cholrestorol @ 5,000 % 😉😉😉👌👌👌👌😃😃😃😃
Sounds delicious!
@@MapleFarmer If it's fatal, then I say what a way to go ! Maple Syrop is really good for you. 👍
Great video. This 65 year old grandma of 6 loves your channel. You are stunningly beautiful and radiate happiness. I did not know you sold most of your syrup bulk. I assume by bulk you mean 55 gallon drums. Is it later broken down and sold by some other seller with their name on it or is it always Boxler Syrup?
Thank you so much for watching! Yes we sell bulk to companies that then label it under other brand names
I think I’m becoming a sap for sap. Wait I think I already said that last season. Doh.
Have your sap do u need to run ur set up or split and dome info boiler?
Never been so scared in my life walking in the woods before dawn getting ready for deer season. Lol! Tom taste good but not as good as maple syrup
Dang you even drive truck wow good job👍
Yup, and Taking my class A this spring!
@@MapleFarmer wishing you the best of skills Niki. You seem like the type who will succeed. Just remember you can do anything you want as long as it is good 😊. I've had mine for awhile now and it's not too hard to get
Such a nice lady. I wish there was a way to know if any of the syrup I buy in New Jersey is sourced from you folks.
end of the season do you clean out the lines?
Does how high on the tree u put the tap in make a difference?
I have really enjoyed following this journey of what it takes to make maple syrup. The bottles that you sell do you process them in house or do you sub that out?
We process everything in house!
Do you have a use for the permeate? Love the detailed tree to syrup video.
It's often used to wash and rinse the equipment. The pans and the R.O.
Being such a clean product it works well.
I missed it, what is the white powder that you add in the syrup?
Nice video. I'm sure it was not easy to make a video while also trying to get the work done.
Yes taking a video and editing it is very time consuming and slows down the work process a bit
