What is the meaning and importance of the term SINGLE SOURCE?
Most pure maple syrup for sale in the U.S. was produced by a sugarmaker – somewhere in the northeastern United States or Canada, and then sold in a barrel to a middleman, who then sells it to a syrup packer, who sells it to a store. The term ‘Single Source’ means that all of our syrup was carefully produced and packaged by us. You know exactly what you’re getting, who produced it and where it came from. That, we feel is an important distinction, in this era of mass produced, mass sourced, and mass marketed food. If you care about where your food comes from, “SINGLE SOURCE” is an important guarantee that your syrup came from a single, careful, family operation, nestled on the north side of Hillsboro Mountain in Starksboro, Vermont – and no where else.
