I am in the middle of making Birch Syrup! Costly stuff though.......It runs about $65 per quart. Not at all sure how I could feasibly trade for it. I mean, what would be fair? Any ideas?
WOW that is expensive! You're in Alaska...I know your food is much more expensive. We would probably have to adjust some. I don't know what the equivalent would be because of the drastic differences in cost of living. I guess whatever anyone would be willing to part with for it that both parties are agreeable on you just can't argue with. I'd be willing to send a box of fresh produce or several dozen hatching eggs for a quart. My kiddo goes through some syrup. Here the maple is around $30 a quart.
It costs that much, because of the ratio of sap to syrup. Its 100 to 1, whereas with Maple, its 40 to 1.
We really are a bit more expensive then the lower 48, but nowhere near as spendy as Hawaii!
Probably not a good idea to trade it for anything.
