August 29th - Welcome Back Schools and Monday Holiday

Just a reminder that Monday, 1st September is a public holiday. So please don't forget to place your orders for Tuesday's delivery early if you'll be enjoying the day off. I will be sending out the order reports as usual to all our vendors on Monday morning. Orchard Hill Breadworks won't be available for our delivery due to the holiday. Any questions just let me know! Thanks.

As the weather begins to feel a bit more like fall, you will see we have some new seasonal items available including: apples, fall raspberries, pumpkin and blueberry granolas, pumpkin pudding and more.

We also have two new vendors who have joined us in the last two weeks: Stuart & John's Sugarhouse with their maple syrup offerings, and Wichland Woods with wild and cultivated mushrooms.

It's a great time of year to be purchasing local! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Since our next delivery day is September...the Harvest of the Month is Apples! Check out www.vermontharvestofthemonth.org/ for some great recipes and free educational materials for your cafeteria or shop.

Don't forget - order your bread today if you want it for our next delivery!

Feature Vendor
Stuart and Johns Sugarhouse LLC
The first Stuart & John's Sugar House was built in the fall of 1974 in Westmoreland, when Stuart Adams and John Matthews decided to buy their own oil-fired evaporator. At the time, Stuart was in the eighth grade, and John was in the tenth grade, and they had been best friends for years.

Stuart's family owned and operated Windyhurst Farm, where John came to work, and the boys became lifelong friends, so it was only natural that they would work together to create Stuart and John's Sugar House. They started with 920 taps, and made 230 gallons of Pure New Hampshire Maple Syrup that became well known for the quality.

Several changes to the operation have been made since those early days. They changed to a wood-fired evaporator for years before once again returning to oil back in 2000. They purchased a reverse osmosis machine in 1986 to take out the majority of water (approximately 75% under high pressure). There are now approximately 12,000 taps, and production is up to 2,500 gallons of syrup each year.

There are 4 grades available: Grade A Light Amber ("Fancy"), Grade A Medium Amber, Grade A Dark Amber, and Grade B. Syrup may be purchased individually or in wholesale case lots. If you need sizes such as 1/4 pint, 1/2 pint or pints, or decorative glass, contact us.
If you have any special requests for an event, we can work with you to fulfill these requests. Maple syrup makes great wedding favors or customer appreciation gifts.
