I used to get it at Costco, but they have went up almost double in price and what they have now isn't organic, it is used to alternate. I am going to email that Misty Maples and see about their processing. I ordered through Amazon, that is a great price right now.

The best price i've found was at http://www.mistymaples.com/ It's a farm in vermont. $60 shipped for a whole gallon. (It would take 4 of the Amazon containers to make 1 gallon, so almost half the price.) The web site looks out of date, and I didn't get an email confirmation, but my gallon arrived just a few days later (this was about a month ago.)

Buy maple products produced here in the U.S. and you are getting the best product available. Whether labeled "organic" or not.It is an amazing process that turns sap into syrup. It is an art and maple producers take great care and pride in putting out the absolute best product they can. After all--their name is on the label. Just check the label when buying to make sure that it is a product made here in the U.S. and you will be buying the best syrup available. Untainted with unwanted chemicals. Organic or not.

She said on page 536 that it is used in the production of most commerical maple syrups. I live in the NW and thus do not have access to local maple syrup. That is awesome for you for sure!

Maybe her information is out of date, I am not sure. There are other reasons to buy organic if possible beyond this issue as in anything.

Dissolve the sugar and salt in water, heat on medium heat, stirring until boiling then stop stirring and boil one or two minutes. Add flavoring and serve. I don't think there's anything weird in maple flavoring, it's probably similar to vanilla, and I'm not sure if you could reproduce this with rapadura, but this is what we use! :) I don’t know if anyone else does this, but my mom passed a “maple” syrup recipe along to me which just uses 1/2 c. brown sugar, 1/4 c. water, a few grains of salt and a drop or two of maple flavoring.

It was recommended to me, and I absolutely loved it. My energy and milk supply were both great. I really think it helped. I also drank a ton of water. I was always thirsty, but I also had an abundance of milk.

I usually subscribe and once I receive the item I unsubscribe unless it is something I want more of every few months. Not having to pay tax or shipping and getting a discount works for us! I look forward to seeing what others buy and save from Amazon. Another tip for saving $ online is to always google the name of the site and "coupon" or "coupon code"- I know I have saved hundreds doing this as I shop a lot online. Sometimes I wait until there is a good code for a certain online store before ordering. I saved over $30 on a purchase just the other day and it was something I would have purchased anyway!
