We’ve been playing around with Amazon’s View in 3D/Room feature this fall. For fun we scanned in one of our maple syrup jugs and maple cream containers, and are in the process of scanning in the rest. The Amazon app lets you see the product in 3D, both with it’s own viewer and in augmented reality mode where you can place it anywhere in your room!

Happy Halloween from Nova Maple Syrup! Our friends from OSU had their fourth reunion trip at the farmhouse last weekend. One of their activities was a costume contest! We saw some great outfits, but this one was the clear winner in our book! Such a great crew and we hope to see them all again next October. Our farmhouse sleeps 10+ and is a great getaway for large groups, we have plenty of availability and discounted rates this time of year, check it out!

In preparation for the holiday season we’ve been sending pallets to Amazon every couple of weeks. We sent out eleven of them on October 2nd, over six tons of maple! This time of year it takes about a week and a half to make it to their first Amazon fulfillment center. Another week or so later and Amazon unloads the boxes, putting individual products on different trucks to go all over the country. Over the next two weeks those products arrive at their final fulfillment center, where they are stored until someone buys with Prime. Finally, one of many carriers ships the product the last 5-100 miles. Inventory planning is key this time of year to ensure our products are readily available for the Christmas season, once behind it is almost impossible to catch back up.
