Notes
My favorite place to buy Maple products is from Sugarbush Farms in Woodstock, Vermont. They are located just down the road from where I grew up and I visited their farm many times. You can find Maple Syrup and Maple Sugar in their online market. {This is not a sponsored or affiliate link. I just love the product and the farm!}
