TBH: When will this Fall's Smith's Vermont Maple Syrup/Cream be available?
I know it was last April when you first posted about the Smith's nectar. https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...150044224#8150044224 That was near what I believe is season's end. Folks in the NorthEast have started tapping their trees.
So as the thread header asks, when do the Smith's expect to have their 2017-18 product available for sale?This message has been edited. Last edited by: bald1,

Yeah, you're right. I misread some things elsewhere about getting ready for the season.

Great timing. Just finished the last of our maple cream and are going to need to order some more.

I just followed the link to their Facebook page and according to a post there, they have product available all year. Just call and order.....

I got 2 pounds of cream a few weeks ago. After eating 2 containers in 2 weeks, I became concerned with my supply, and inquired...they have plenty.
But don't y'all go eating all of it!

If this stuff is that good, why don't they have a website?
I wouldn't mind trying it out, but I don't do facebook.

My feeling from talking with them is it is really a mom-n-pop kinda thing, but they have allowed for a wider audience by creating the facebook page and the owner's son deals with the online aspect.
Some things are best kept small. Once you have some of their maple cream, you'll hope they never run out
If you want to contact them, it's peterjsmith2012@gmail.com / 802-349-3664, public, per Facebook. Also, I'll give you the prices from their page: $40 per gallon $24.50 1/2 gallon $14.50 quart $10 pint Maple cream $9 for 1/2 lb, which is tiny. He told me they were considering doing 1lb containers in the future.
But leave us some cream

I don't do Facebook either. Last April I contacted Peter via email and he invoiced me via Paypal which worked out nicely. Obviously there are other ways to contact him and arrange payment.
