Maple Monday!

Let's get the week started, shall we?!

Potatoes. One of our meal favorites. Mashed, baked, or roasted, there are so many ways to enjoy potatoes. While browsing for a recipe, I stumbled upon one that is sure to be added to your meals. Hot Maple Buttered Smashed Potatoes with Garlic Mayo! How can you go wrong with this recipe?! And you can bet we will be having this with one of our dinners this week.

Looking for a gift for that special someone? Housewarming? Birthday? Anniversary? Just because? No matter the occasion, Vermont maple syrup is the perfect way to show you care. Our wood-fired, award-winning maple syrup is available in a size that fits all of your needs. And don't forget the maple cream (our favorite) and our cousin-to-cousin, coast-to-coast maple almonds. Visit our website. You shop, we ship.
