Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com introduces us to David, Donna and Nick Divoky who operate Maple Valley Sugarbush & Farm in Chardon, OH. https://www.maplevalleysugarbush.com/ They are the3rd and 4th generation producing maple syrup on this land. Sugaring can be both a joy and a challenge. One of the Divoky's setbacks in 1998 was when a devastating tornado hit their sugarbush which took down many trees, the tubing and sap transfer system. "Sugaring and working the land doesn't come easy but when it comes to bringing out God's best, you can certainly expect some adversity."
