    "samples" will start at $5 a pint. :)

    yup. i believe it's worth it...ever read a Hungry Jack or Eggo syrup ingredients list? my family has just over two hundred acres, with plenty of black & sugar maple trees.

    Sweet! (pun intended) i may just have to do that. thanks for the info!

    Talk to producers in your area to find out the ins and outs. They are the best possible source. I buy my Maple Syrup by the gallon and go thropugh 1.5 gallons a year.
