Tucked away in the woods of Tully, you'll find miles and miles of tubing attached to trees.

To the untrained eye, it's a confusing sight, but for Nate and Cristy Williams, it's the family business.

The pair took over Dutch Hill Maple from Nate's father, who started the business in 1968. 

Mid-February to late April is peak harvesting season. When the trees thaw, they release sap into nearly 42 miles of tubing that heads straight into the tankhouse. Thats where you'll find two 1,500-gallon tanks, and they fill up fast.

Last year, Dutch Hill produced more than 3,100 gallons of syrup. But to get to even one gallon of the pancake topper, it takes 60 gallons of sap. That means they processed nearly 200,000 gallons of sap last year in just six weeks.

You can visit sugarhouses across the state for maple weekends. Those run the weekends of March 21 and March 28.
