As terrible as this is, the real victims are all the small maple guys and girls currently working their asses off to make this season excellent. Producers like Garlandside or Maple Country have a limited window to tap, collect and boil everything for the rest of the season. Come out to Ottawa Farmers' Market support their business. They are amazing people. Robert Hupe came out every Friday to contribute to my initiative "The Vendors Project" during the pandemic to help organize and deliver baskets even though he was working insane hours.
