    Maple Monday!

    Happy Monday! A brand new week is here — and we're kicking it off with some big news and an incredible recipe!

    A Sweet End to a Beautiful Season. Last night, we officially wrapped up our maple season — and what a season it was! This year we collected an amazing 33,468 gallons of sap, which we boiled down into 560 gallons of our delicious wood-fired maple syrup. We are so proud of this season and so grateful for every single one of you who has supported us along the way.

    And what better way to end the season than with our most cherished tradition — our annual measuring of the grand kids in the sugar house, followed by our favorite sugar house dinner of fried chicken and waffles. Sweet memories made, every single year.

    This Week's Recipe — No-Knead Maple Oat Bread! Oh, this one is special. Comforting, hearty, and absolutely delicious — this bread is about to become a staple in your kitchen. And here's our favorite way to enjoy it: toast a few thick slices and slather them with our maple cream. Trust us, once you try it, you'll never look back! You can thank us later.

    Stock Up on Maple! Our website is open around the clock and ready for you — anytime, any day! Get all your maple favorites delivered straight to your door — syrup, almonds, candy, sugar, and cream. Bring a little taste of Vermont home to your table. You shop, we ship — it's that simple!
