Steve Randle, a software engineer during the work-week, checks the maple syrup in the finishing pan next to the evaporator (L) at Hollis Hills Farm in Lunenburg, Massachusetts February 19, 2012. Making maple syrup allows Randle to trade his workday loafers for boots and jeans. Hollis Hills Farm has 1500 taps this season around Lunenburg and it takes 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of maple syrup. REUTERS/Brian Snyder (UNITED STATES - Tags: SOCIETY FOOD BUSINESS)
