Welcome to the Sugar Shack

"The forest is a peculiar organism of unlimited kindness and benevolence that makes no demands for its sustenance and extends generously the products of its life and activity; it affords protection to all beings.   ---Buddhist Sutra 
There is a sugar shack a few miles out of Dalhousie. Today, on our way into town we stopped to buy some maple sugar and take a few photos.

Maple sap is boiled down in an evaporator












The evaporator burns between 25-30 cords of wood a season
