The first sap run is usually garbage. We don't even use it.

Why is that?

It just isn't very good sap. Sugar content is low and it's not enough for us to bother collecting. It's not worth the energy it would take to boil it vs how much syrup we'd get from it.

Gotcha, I thought maybe sugar fraction was low. But I would be only guessing I never even tapped one tree. Some nearby people do it in very small scale. I am happy to buy from the road stands.
