Explore the Farm
Come take a look around the farm. This section will be updated often as we move through the seasons and through the different projects underway here at the Farm. Stop back when you have a moment and enjoy a little time in the country. And if there's something you're really interested in, let us know and we'll see if we can't bring it to life in this section of the Springboro Tree Farms website.
And when you have a moment, visit our Gallery. You'll find a link to the main gallery in th
e footer for each and every website page. You'll see we've also provide a bit of a mini-gallery in each of the main sections of the website - Sugaring, Beekeeping, Orchard Mgmt and Forestry. If you want more information (or a good story) about any of the pictures drop us a note.
And as always, if there's something you're interested in and would like to see a picture of it - again, drop us a note and we'll see what we can do.
Enjoy the sweet life...
2021 Season Prep
We're getting ready for the 2021 sugaring season and there's always something fun to do.
We're nearly complete now (mid-January)...
...so let's take a look at what we’ve been up to.
Getting Honey Bees through the Winter
Fall is an important season in the honeybee year. With winter just around the corner, transitioning the apiary from summer to winter is a serious bit of work. Get it right and your bees will likely come thru in great shape. Miss it by a bit and it could be a very different story.
Building the Sugar Shack
This entire sugaring thing is the all fault of our forester, James Potthoff!
Well, that’s our story anyway.
And we’re sticking to it.
Hit the Trail
Through the years the deer who call this area home did a good job of developing trails for their use...and they continue that work today. However, the trails that we use for our operations weren't designed by deer and didn't come by accident.
