Our pure organic maple syrup is the best sweetener money can buy. Naturally filtered by the soil and the tree, pure maple syrup is a heritage food we learned how to make from the Native people of New England and Canada.

Here at Fat Stone Farm, we've been making it in small batches since 2004, expanding to over 3,000 sugar and red maple trees. When day time temperatures are above freezing, and nighttime temperatures fall below freezing, the sap starts flowing up the maple tree, just under the bark. We capture a tiny bit of that from each tree and boil the sap until enough water has evaporated. It takes between 40 and 60 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup.

Our organic-certified maple syrup guarantees the sap and syrup never come into contact with pesticides, herbicides, lead, or galvanized equipment. Organic certification also means we care for the forest, the individual trees, and harvest the sap sustainably. One of our maple stands ("sugar bushes") is Audubon Certified Bird-Friendly!

Within the Grade A standards, we make three types of pure maple syrup, with variations in quantities from year to year:

- Grade A Amber is light in color, with nuances of butterscotch and vanilla. It usually comes first in the season when the days are colder.

- Grade A Dark (pictured) brings a slightly stronger maple taste with more caramel, brown sugar, and graham cracker notes.

- Grade A Very Dark (known as Grade B until 2015) is the fullest maple flavor with molasses undertones. We produce Very Dark last in the season, as daytime temps warm up and spring begins. 

Refrigerate after opening.

As many farmers know, seasons can bring a great harvest or a horrible harvest, or somewhere in between. In the maple seasons which do not provide well enough for us here in Southeast Connecticut, we may supplement our own syrup with another organic, high quality sugarmaker's syrup.
