Making Maple Syrup - Berlin is a town of 2,000 people, and the gentleman on the right was demonstrating the process of gathering and making maple syrup. He said that he had lived in Berlin all his life and in fact, knew all the other craftspeople since they were all small boys and girls. Folks from this area have a very resourceful mentality. He said that he has land outside of town and for most of his winter heating needs, gets the wood himself from his land. This way he is not depending on energy companies for his needs nor does he have to pay their high prices. It was very refreshing talking to this very talented individual.
