  1. Thanks Rick! I hope they are hanging in there. Running a business is so stressful and there is a lot of work on the farm always!

  2. Autumn Leaves Maple Farm’s syrup is fantastic! Philip and Allison are great people to know and talk to. I get their syrup at least once a year. Thanks for doing this Donna. Always a good thing to support local!!!
