Elmore Family Update – April 17, 2023

Elmore Family Update – March 27, 2023

Good morning Elmore families, The March calendar might say it is spring, but as we all know, winter likes to hold on a little longer here in northern Vermont.  The longer days and stronger sun are promising signs that it will not be too much longer until the blanket of snow will give way to grass.  For now, the sugar makers will reap the …
