"This film is educational and informative for the entire family--great to also use for your homeschool! I had always heard about making pure maple syrup but was not exactly sure about the process. This film was very helpful explaining and covering every detail from how to prepare equipment, tapping the maple trees, and boiling down the sap. An added bonus was also learning how simple it is to can it, so simple it can be done by anyone! Also, see that little guy on the cover? He adds a humorosly fun touch to the whole movie-- isn't he just adorable? "
