Production in the sugar house is but one of the last steps before it arrives to you. Maple operations begin in the sugar-bush, and this is where Levon's expertise shines through. Managing the maintenance, replacement of over 14,000 taps is a year round job, and this is where he was meant to be. As an avid outdoorsman, there is no better job suited to his talents.
