I have bought from a different Vermont syrup maker and have enjoyed their product a lot. However, I was put off by their plastic storage bottles from the last time I ordered it. When I found Maple Farmers' blog about the benefits of glass bottles, I decided to give them a try.
I like the "random" selection process Maple Farmers uses to pick which farm's product they ship. If you find a favorite, you can request that specific farm's syrup.
The syrup tastes great! Is it better? That is subjective and I did run out of the other syrup two years ago. I have a cousin who taps his maple trees in southern Ohio and makes syrup for friends and family. It also tastes good, but I can tell the difference. The bottle I recently opened tastes better.
FYI - I bought two quart bottles and it will be interesting to see if they differ. I did notice that their respective amber shades differed a little bit (not a bad thing).
