Hobby maple syrup makers are more likely than othe

Hobby maple syrup makers are more likely than others to have a garden! About 55% of American households currently have a garden. In a survey we did last year, we learned that 72% of our customers garden. Other things we hobby sugar makers like to do in warmer weather include hiking, camping, and fishing! Makes sense to us. That's what we do too!⁠

2023 weather weirdness continues. A late-winter snowfall mixed with early warm temperatues made some Vermont maple syrup seasons short. Then a killing frost in mid-May hit the apple blossoms pretty hard. (Not to mention the beech and ash trees. Yikes!) But we still got our seeds in the garden a full two weeks early! Has your 2023 been strange too?⁠

It's almost like the Vermont Capital is celebrating pride month! It wouldn't surprise us.⁠
⁠
Like anywhere, Vermont has its share of bigots. But acceptance is mainstream here. We used to feel like we could safely and comfortably travel anywhere in the country. But now there are places we just won't go. If you are searching for an open and friendly travel destination this summer, give Vermont a try. You really are welcome here no matter who you are and how you love! ❤️🌈⁠

Grilling with maple for all diets! The family that sugars together, eats together.⁠
⁠
If your family is anything like ours, though, it is made up of people with different dietary restrictions and preferences. If you are juggling vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free diets as well as serving committed carnivores, you are not alone! Grilling with maple syrup can help. ⁠
⁠
Check out the blog for some maple-forward recipes for the grill that, taken together, everyone can enjoy. Link in bio.⁠

Lastly there's Kate Whelley McCabe, at which point, the buck stops.⁠
⁠
As far as Kate can tell, CEO actually stands for Covering Every Opening left over! And she wouldn't have it any other way. Kate's education in English and Economics and background in Consumer Protection Law were as good a preparation as anything for starting and running Vermont Evaporator Company. Stay brave, Kate!⁠

Meet Patrick Whelley: Part-owner, model, product tester, officemate and occasional forklift driver.⁠
⁠
Shown here rocking the Sapling Party Grill, Patrick has a sweet virtual gig that allows him to hang with the Vermont Evaporator Company crew during office hours. Handy when there's a late freight shipment to unload (For the love of goodness, freight shippers, what IS it with you guys!?) or some lifting to heavy for the rest of us. Rock on, Patrick!⁠

Is Paul Eley celebrating Cinco de Mayo with a little dance, or working hard? ⁠
⁠
Both! Meet Paul, who is good fun in any situation, but never more than when he's building Sapling Evaporators, testing products and taking care of all-things-buildings-and-grounds. With a background as varied as studying European History and teaching Sex Education to at-risk teens, we say, if the blast room suit fits, wear it, Paul!⁠

May! A great time to grill. A great time to introduce the staff of the Vermont Evaporator Company!⁠
⁠
It all started with Justin McCabe, Sapling Evaporator and Everything Grill inventor, part-owner, Chief Engineer, model and product-tester. Justin is a mild mannered attorney by day, but likes to celebrate evenings and weekends by taking hobbies to the extreme. Thankfully for us, that includes sugaring, grilling, smoking and wood-fired baking. Well done, Justin! We love our jobs, and the company is going strong!⁠

Anyone who'se done it knows that cleaning sugaring

Anyone who'se done it knows that cleaning sugaring pans is hard, messy work and not much fun. We agree. This year, we are testing an acid-based sugaring pan cleaner like the pros use. We'll keep you up to date about whether it works, and whether we'll be carrying an acid-based cleaner for next season. Wish us luck and stay tuned!⁠
