Events

Join us for the first workshop of the year at Reciprocity Community Food Forest.  We will be giving a how to presentation on tapping a Large Silver Maple Tree at our Food Forest by tapping it together. For refreshments  we will have taste samples of  Sugar Maple Water that we plan to tap a week before our workshop. Along with the Sugar Maple Water samples we will also have White Pine Soda samples so if you would like to try, please bring your own Cup! While enjoying the refreshments we will talk about the benefits of drinking Maple water seasonally and respecting the tree by only taking what is needed & giving back by planting more trees with Reciprocity. Maple water contains more Manganese, Calcium, Sodium, and almost as much potassium as Coconut Water. For Gatorade fans, Maple water is an all natural sports drink! For maple syrup fans it would take 50 gallons of sugar maple water to get 1 gallon of maple syrup. So although we love maple syrup as a treat, this workshop is to show the value of an absolute necessity, clean mineral rich, free, Water that revitalizes our body with minerals we are lacking in a season when we need it the most. (Event is subject to being rescheduled to the following Saturday, February 28th depending on weather and proper temperature for Tree sap flow.)
