Another of our friends gives him a few hundred lbs of sugar to go with the fruit he gets from my yard and several other trees. A young guy helps him pick from others but when he comes for our trees We enjoy picking together. Anyways he makes the wine enjoys it and is sorta like a hub in the web with several other folks all co oping
and enjoying a very good wine.
I do the same thing Cappy, but far and wide. Trade for real maple syrup in Vermont, spices out of Texas, freezer full of processed deer, etc. If I can only get an avocado tree (or seed) out of California. Can't imagine eating an avocado ripe off a tree. I can eat those things like candy. Tried the LSU Ag center one's, but didn't work.
