Dear Dads: Thanks for Helping us Build a Great Product!

Jun 17, 2018 | Our Company, Products and Customers

Like great dads everywhere, ours are there when we need them, even if it means many hours of hard work designing and producing a brand new product for a brand new company.

Like great dads everywhere, ours are there when we need them, even if it means many hours of hard work designing and producing a brand new product for a brand new company.

Now that Vermont Evaporator Company is all of (almost) three years old, we’re looking back with a smile at the fun we’ve had with our dads along the way.

So, thanks for the help, dads! And, in addition to that Vermont Evaporator Company tee-shirt you’ve just unwrapped, here’s what people say about the invention you helped us bring to life (all exclamation points are legit!):

“Thanks! After 4 years using a concrete block and restaurant pan setup for our 20 taps, we’re ready to try something a lot more efficient.” – Nancy (Hancock, MI)

“Top quality product . . . Have been boiling for 5 years on a homemade barrel stove and second-hand-pan, producing about 5 gallons a year. Today is our first boil of 2018 with our new Sapling Evaporator. What a HUGE difference! So stoked for our new tool!” – Jenee (Cooperstown, NY)

“We look forward to our new Sapling!!” -Stephen (York, ME)

“We’ve never done this before ever. [The Sapling] was just what we needed. This is our first batch. . . . man it tastes great. And not a hint of smoke in it . . . Thanks again . . . . Great family run business idea you have here.” – Mike (NH)

And last but not least:
