Do you do
customized labels?
No, we are no longer able to provide labels for your favors.
There are several options available and with a little creativity
each couple will have unique labels for their favors.
Do it yourself using a print shop program and business cards
from an office supply store. You can print both sides of the
business card and then fold it creating a little card. Punch
with a hole in the corner and tie onto your bottles with ribbon.
Discuss labels with your printer who is doing the printing for
the wedding. It is possible that he can provide a product that
ties into your wedding theme.
There are several online companies that will provide a large
array of styles, colors and fonts.

How many
pounds of candy will I need?
Once you’ve determined how many candies will be going into your
packaging, you may order using the following estimates:
Maple Leaves 42/lb
Hearts & Roses 72/lb
When ordering candy, there is no minimum order. Your order will
be packaged in bulk and shipped.
What types of packaging are available for maple candy?
Many couples like to use cloth bags or something made out of
netting with a tie. Some couples have even made their own boxes
or put the candy in dishes to self-serve on the reception
tables. And still, some like to serve a piece of candy with the
cake.
You can also order packaging from
www.nashvillewraps.com ;
www.beau-coup.com and
www.modpac.com.
Check out craft stores. Some Michael's and Joanne Fabrics stores
stock boxes.
Can I order a sample?
Samples are available by contacting the sugarhouse on our toll
free line, 1-888-846-2753. The first sample is $7.50; each
additional sample is $3.00.
What if I find a container I like and it isn't available on
your website?
Call the sugarhouse on our toll free line, 1-888-846-2753, and
we will assist you in getting your favor in the container you
selected.
How far in advance should an order be placed?
As much time as possible is always good! Two to three months
before the date of the event is preferable. The most popular
bottles are kept in stock, but some are a special order. We also
like to bottle the syrup as we go so that it will be its
freshest for your guests. You may not know the exact number that
you need at the time you place the order, but for our planning
purposes here on the farm, a good idea is better than a last
minute order we can’t do anything about. Before the items are
shipped, you will have an opportunity to confirm the number you
will need. Most couples like to wait until they have received
the RSVP’s before shipping.
Is there a discount for bulk purchases?
Yes, the favors have already been reduced in price to reflect
volume purchases based on minimum orders.
What if I want to purchase a larger bottle than those offered
on the Buy Now page?
Any container on our website can be available for bulk
purchasing. Call the sugarhouse, 1-888-846-2753, to get a price
quote.
How should my maple products be stored?
We have taken every safeguard to assure that your syrup is
properly filtered, graded and bottled at the FDA’s required food
safe temperature. Maple syrup should be stored in a cool, dark
place. In a closet or the back of a pantry is best. Do not store
in direct light or near a heating system as the color of the
syrup can change over time.
Maple Candy is best kept in a dry, room temperature area.
Humidity will melt maple candy. I’ve always found that some
airflow is better than a complete seal.
How is the maple syrup packaged?
When the syrup is bottled in the sugarhouse, it is checked for
density, color and flavor. We bottle all the syrup at 180
degrees Fahrenheit, the food safe temperature required by the
FDA. The syrup will have a warm amber color, usually a medium
amber grade. There won't be any sediment on the bottom of the
bottle and the syrup won't be cloudy. You can also count on no
messy drips or smudges on the bottles that you'll have to clean
when they arrive.
How are the favors shipped?
All orders are shipped using UPS Ground Service unless other
arrangements are made.
What is the cost of shipping?
UPS will not take a package over 70 pounds and we feel that a
package over 50 pounds is too difficult to handle safely. Most
favor orders are large and require more than one box. If you
order online, the shopping cart does not have the ability to
correctly calculate the shipping charges for multiple boxes (it
tends to over calculate). You can call the sugarhouse toll free,
1-888-846-2753, for a more accurate amount.
How do I pay for the order?
We accept VISA/MC/DISCOVER/AMEX credit cards. All orders
will be processed before UPS picks up at the sugarhouse.
