Visit Butternut Mountain Farm at this year's Winter Fancy Food Show January 15th to 17th, the Moscone Center, San Francisco. We'll be displaying our full line of maple, honey and other related products.  Booth #715

It’s a new twist on their Maple Oat Ale. The beer is crafted with Maine-grown organic oats and Vermont produced organic maple syrup from Butternut Mountain Farm. The resulting beer is a copper-colored brew with a subtle richness. The beer supports the Chefs Collaborative, the nation’s leading environmentally conscious culinary organization.  Visit Peak Brewing here.

Vermont's Senior Senator announced today that he will introduce legislation to increase the penalty on those who defraud consumers and farmers by intentionally mislabeling maple products. The proposal would create a new federal felony offence and increase the sentences that prosecutors can seek for those who adulterate maple products.

In Vermont the purity of maple syrup is not taken lightly.  A Rhode Island man is facing charges of adulteration and misbranding of a food, after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allegedly determined that the product he was marketing and selling as Vermont maple syrup was not.  The man, Bernard Coleman, faces a potential fine of upto $10,000 and one year in prison.
