In the early years if you wanted something sweet you had to make it. Thus our family tradition was started. It is easy for anyone to say that they made the best, but it is harder to get someone else to say it. Here are some of our family credentials. In 1957 and 1958 we won the WI. Maple Syrup Producer's 1st place award. In 2007 we entered syrup in the North American Maple Syrup Council/International Maple Syrup Institute’s annual meeting in Akron, Ohio. Our Grade A dark amber won third place. Our Grade A medium amber won first place and went on to win Grand Champion. We entered again in 2012, our Grade A dark amber took second place. Our Granular Maple Sugar took third place. It's a family tradition to work with nature to make the best. Our flavored Maple Syrup's started in 2007. It's a long story how it came about, that we can share when there is more time. What we have done is to use a very nice Pure Maple Syrup and mix in some pure fruit concentrate. Each concentrate that we use has only ONE ingredient. Blueberries in Blueberry, Raspberries in Raspberry, Cherries in Cherry, Strawberries in Strawberry. Absolutely No Additives or Preservatives of any kind are in any of our products. In our Cinnamon flavored Maple Syrup we use only the highest quality cinnamon that we can find. Pure Granular Maple Sugar is both new and very old. It's new in that, it hasn't been used in a very long time. A long time ago people had to make the syrup into sugar so they could store it. Now people are starting to rediscover it. Pure Maple Sugar is one of the healthiest and least processed of all sugars. Only water being removed. Pure Maple Sugar is 90 to 95% sucrose sugar. It behaves a little different when used in cooking. Sugar made from lighter colored grades of syrup have less of a maple flavor, while sugar made from darker syrup carries a little more maple flavor. We also have Pure Granular Maple Sugar with Cinnamon, just because it is really good. This is what is available at Wood's Maple Orchard:
