How is Maple Syrup Made?
Pure maple syrup is a natural sweetener, made by boiling down and concentrating the sap of maple trees. This process transforms the sap into a golden, delicious syrup that has delighted taste buds around the world. But there's more to this sweet treat than meets the eye. Behind every drop of real maple syrup lies a process that's both fascinating and complex, a process we'll explore...

Ask Vermont maple producers about their favorite grade of pure maple syrup and you're liable to get a wide range of answers. Ultimately, it all comes down to your individual preference and getting the right grade of maple syrup for its proper use. Whether you're baking, sweetening morning coffee, or floating your pancakes, I hope to help you choose the right grade for the job at hand...

Let customers speak for us
It’s always a treat having maple sugar candy! This is excellent. We love getting a mix of light and dark. Yum!
I have successfully expunged cane sugar from my diet because of this superior sweetener: delicious with my morning coffee. SO appreciate this high quality, New England Maple sugar and I love supporting this 4th generation, sustainable Family Farm! thank you Fortin Family! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Now, it is hard to find a honey that has a different flavor, but I am absolutely sold on this one. Some honey is too sweet and others just seem to bite, but I really like this one.
100% recommend. This is our second purchase of these and they are amazing.
A tasty treat smothered in maple syrup or bluberry jam. À welcomed surprise for à grad student finished with finals!
I have ordered this quite a few times, over quite a few years, primarily as gifts, often for business friends, often Europeans, frequently in the wood industry, and it is always a pleasure to share in their discovery of this 2nd wonderous product that comes from maple trees.
I absolutely love the maple candy. It melts in your mouth! A wonderful balance of flavor. The texture is perfect. I could easily eat a pound of this candy in a single day.
I have ordered many times from Carman Brook Farm. Generally I order 2 pounds of the mixed maple candy. I order them for my dear brother who is incapacitated physically and has very few pleasures in life. My brother always tells me how delicious they are. These candies are boxed beautifully and are fresh. They make my brother happy and remind him of his youth. I only wish Carman Brooks Farm made more coupons/deals available.
Very nice cookie in both vanilla and chocolate version.
They are delicious! Love the Maple Creme in the middle!
These maple candies are amazing. They melt in your mouth. Im hooked.
As expected, I enjoyed the rich full flavor of the dark maple syrup I ordered. Carmen Brook never fails

Baklava has long been a favorite treat and it only makes sense to add it to our recipe lineup. Flaky phyllo dough, crushed nuts, Vermont maple syrup, butter, what's not to love? In my life, I've had one home...

Bacon wrapped scallops have become a holiday tradition in our family through an untraditional path. It all started years ago when my mom made the "mistake" of sending my dad out to pick up a simple grocery ...
