SAPSQUATCH PURE MAPLE SYRUP Enfield, NY LOCAL – SUSTAINABLE – COMMUNITY DRIVEN www.SAPSQUATCH.com <http://www.sapsquatch.com/>
Maple Syrup is a special and unique product- the Finger Lakes is one of few places on earth where we can harvest and boil tree sap into a delicious food. Sapsquatch is a community venture working to develop a sustainable sugaring enterprise in Tompkins County. We are two permaculture designers who love the feeling of the crisp air as Winter changes to Spring and nature offers the ultimate gift: sugar! Support us today with your CSS (Community Supported Sugaring) share. It works just like a CSA: you purchase a share before the season to support our production costs and we guarantee you a piece of the local harvest. Orders are now being taken and we have limited quantity. Your order will be filled in the order received beginning this March as we collect, boil, and bottle syrup from over 300 trees. We welcome you to visit our sugarbush, volunteer your time, or attend one of our events. Happy Sugaring!
