Meet your Farmer is a series of in-depth stories about producers in St. Lawrence County.
Michael Greer of Sugartree Village has a passion for maple syrup. What sets Michael apart from other small-scale maple producers is he set up his maple production behind his home in the Village of Potsdam and collects sap from the trees in his residential neighborhood.
With permission from his neighbors, Michael taps trees on 28 properties in the village. He has as many as 450 taps, which he says is his human production limit, as he collects the sap by hand-pouring it into a 170 gallon steel collection tank in his truck.
