Vermont Maple Syrup

.....Since I haven`t tasted your friends maple syrup, what is your recommendation for the first time buyer, the "B" grade???....
We scrimp and cut corners on a lot of stuff to make ends meet but syrup is not one of them. I love the "dark amber" (grade b) pure maple syrup. It is a flavor bomb and it only takes a little on pancakes or waffles to make them just right.

Oddly enough, my son brought me a gallon of maple syrup from Ohio. He was working on a land surveying job and stumbled on a Mennonite gent working at his sugaring. Bought a gallon. It tasted a little different than the Vermont variety but was very good, just the same. Never heard of Ohio maple syrup before that.
 
This is a father/son operation (hobby). They own a farm, and work on this together for the joy of it.
So far, every year they reinvest all profits into upgrades to become more efficient. Talk about a stainless steel fetish, OMG!
They started very small, and keep growing. Last year they had 200 taps, this year 700, and next 1500-2000 hopefully.

Thank you all for your interest and purchased. Let me share a today story.
The father and wife, myself and wife and another couple returned from Seattle on our first red eye.(Our son was married on Saturday and it was the most beautiful wedding I've ever experienced.) After the flight, we are eating lunch, dead to the world, the phone rings. It's Pete's boy, Pete jr.
"Dad, what the hell did Terry do? The phone is ringing and I'm getting steady emails." So Pete asks me, and I told him while waiting for our flight,
I posted on my favorite forum. He repeats this and says" well, you better get going and ship those orders." We all had a good laugh over this.
So again thanks all very much for your orders.

Please post comments when you try your syrup. If everyone is happy, I'll post every year, and either Pete or myself will contribute to the site.

Phil- The people that like "B" are more hard core. Some cook with it, and the rest just love it. If you haven't had a lot of real syrup, I would go with the fancy. Or a small order of each.

What do I like syrup on?

In a shot glass-I'm serious.

Plane donut. Or cider donut. Put donut in bowl, pour in just enough syrup to start to float donut, heat it up a little.

Apple pie.
Apple crisp.
Vanilla ice cream.
Of course waffles, pancakes, French toast. Add a couple of eggs, and believe it or not, a couple of pan fried skin on hotdogs (instead of sausage, ham, or bacon) with syrup on everything. I grew up on this.

Thanks again,

Terry
 
Well, I couldn't help myself...I ordered some this morning. My sourdough starter just be a percolating about the time the syrup gets here. Sorry...There's no room at the inn.
 
Thanks all. I am told the orders keep coming in. They are in the process of making a batch of maple cream. I'll be getting some of that myself!
 
Wow. I ordered on Monday and I got it today!! Couldn't resist had to taste it. I can hardly wait until Saturday morning for pancakes and the best syrup I ever tasted!! I got the Grade A very dark.
 
Pancakes (any kind you like), two fried eggs so the yellow still runs, put eggs on pancakes, cut up like checker board, pour some maple syrup over the whole thing, awesome:):cool:.

PS. I like to put black pepper all over the cut up pancakes and eggs, then the syrup.

I wouldn't wait.:confused: Breakfast for dinner. I do it all the time.

Don't wait till Saturday, grab some creamy vanilla ice cream and smother it with syrup.

And Josh is right, Pancakes are perfect for dinner.

My wife will sear a pork tenderloin, then sauté diced Apple and sliced almonds in syrup. Long grain rice, sliced tenderloin, and sauce on top. No wonder I'm overweight!

I just gained 10# reading this.
 
Just ordered 4 gallons. Can't wait!

Holy cow Scott! My oldest son and I are the only ones in my family that like syrup. One year we went through five gallons and went without for three months. My wife felt we were over indulging.
Enjoy!

I'm hoping everyone that orders will post positive and negative comments.
These guys are looking for 100% satisfaction, and I would have never started this thread if I didn't believe they were selling top notch products.
