Not too much new to report, just a few quick updates:

• The weather’s perfect for a campfire! Come stay at our farmhouse and enjoy the new Solo Stove. We’re fully booked 10/10–10/20, but the rest of October and early November are still open.

• We’re retiring our barrel-aged and infused syrups. Only 50–100 bottles of each remain, and once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.

• Cooler temps mean it’s time for fall maintenance. We’ve got 7,000 droplines and spouts to install in our home sugar bush, plus a few mainlines to tighten. Thanks to our trail system (and a break from those spring microbursts!), we’ve managed to keep downed trees in check all summer.

• Amazon Business customers can now get a discount on multi-quantity orders.

When we first started the business, we tried a little bit of everything. Over time, we discovered where our true strengths were, and after a decade we’ve found that our specialty lies in value-added products and online retail. As much as we love working in the woods, we’ve chosen to downsize our syrup production so we can focus more on the sugar shack while still making time for family. This summer we sold our Brass Road property to Kelly and Tyler of Windy Knoll Maple, and we’re confident they’ll dedicate the time and energy needed to help the sugar bush thrive. Letting go of such a special place isn’t easy—we’ve made so many great memories there—but knowing it will be cared for and continue producing syrup each year makes the transition easier.

February 2017

In the spring of 2015, we purchased our 100-acre property and began setting up tubing to produce maple syrup on a commercial scale. Ten years later, we’re proud of how far we’ve come, thanks to our dedicated team and our loyal customers who’ve supported us along the way. To celebrate this milestone, we’re offering 20% off all website orders this week!

Use code novamapleis10 at checkout (valid for one use per customer through 8/23). Please note, the discount does not apply to bulk sugar (45 lbs), bulk syrup (4-gallon packs), or gift cards.
