This week was cold and not good for sap flow but we were busy making some of our other maple confections.  The kitchen smelled wonderful this week while we made fresh batches of maple cream and maple taffy too.  We’ve had folks looking for those maple cream cones for weeks and it’s been a challenge to get the cones.  Like everything else that has supply chain issues, the cones were backordered in Canada.  But we found some sugar cones to replace the cake cones and we’ll have them for sale this weekend.  Along with these, we packaged up more of our Grade A Amber maple syrup from last week so we have plenty on hand.

Can we get weather any weirder than this?  One day 60 degrees and less than 24hrs later down to freezing.  While the warm did get some sap flowing, we really would like to see more moderate temps in the low 40s and nights well below freezing.  But we’ll see.  Brian collected today and boiled until 7:30.  More sap still needs to be collected tomorrow so hopefully we will be able to boil again sometime this weekend.

Yesterday we picked up an order of the Maple Caramel Popcorn that was such a favorite for a long time.  This is from the original Hutchinson’s recipe so it’s just as good as always but now being made by Van Otis Chocolates.  And we have a couple new items we are trying from them to see what folks think.  Some individual Maple Caramels and boxed Maple Cream Truffles.  And we are stocked with Apple Hill Farm Pancake mixes and jams in 6 flavors too.

And we have the pleasure of having more pieces back in stock from Mike Gibbons of Nutfield Pottery.  Mike’s a very talented potter and a member of the League of NH Craftsman.  Check out his unique, practical and beautiful pieces.

Holiday Open House

It’s time to think about getting your shopping lists in order and planning a stop to pick up some purely delicious NH Maple Syrup and other goodies for your holiday gift giving.  Now that we are in a better place with the Pandemic due to vaccinations and mask wearing, we will be back to our normal Open House hours this year.  At times the shop may be crowded so consider a mask for the benefit of all.  We’ll have all our normal supplies of pure NH Maple Syrup. Candy, Cream and Sugar along with those other specialty maple products that have been favorites now for so long.  Maple Mustard, BBQ Sauce, Drops, Cookies, Apple Hill Farm Jams & Pancake Mixes, and Maple Seasonings. And don’t forget we always have a variety of Maple Gift Baskets for those hard to buy for friends, family and coworkers.  

And don’t forget our gorgeous, handmade balsam wreaths.  They go quickly, so be sure to come early for the best selection!

Hours will be Saturday, December 4th 9am to 4pm and Sunday, December 5th 10am to 4pm.  

Open Weekends through December 10am to 4pm

Maple-to-Go is still available  for a contact free shopping option.  Call 603-887-3672 to place your order.

Holiday Open House Update!

Due to limited configuration issues with Square we can’t sell our wreaths in the online store.  They are posted to the online store for viewing only.  Ignore the “out of stock” language.  If you can see it, it’s still for sale.  You can call or text 603-370-0908 to order yours and pickup and pay later.  

Thank you for bearing with us as we navigate new ground during the pandemic.

Holiday Open House 2020

Dear Customers and Friends,

Please join us again this year for our Annual Holiday Open House.  Of course this year will be a bit different than in the past so we can all keep safe during the Covid pandemic. Social distancing, hand sanitizer and masks will be necessary.

The biggest change this year will be centered around our Wreath sales.  They will only be able to be purchased through our online store as of Dec 1st and then picked up at the sugarhouse later.  Visit the Online store at folsomsugarhousestore.com to view the wreaths online and make your purchase.

The next change is an expansion of hours so that people have more time to come to purchase products and spread the crowds out.  So we will be opening on Dec 1st through Dec 6th from 10am to 4pm.  And then every Saturday and Sunday until  Christmas. Don’t forget that we still have Maple to Go every day as an option too for those of you wanting a contact free shopping choice.  All products and prices can be found on the Products page on our website: folsomsugarhouse.com  Just give us a call at 603-887-3672 to place your order and pay over the phone with a credit card!  Order pick ups can be done 10am to 4pm daily.

We’ll have our usual Pure Maple Syrup and products for sale along with the specialty items.  And gift giving can’t be any easier than picking up one of our Maple Gift Baskets for under the tree or for Yankee Swaps, Hostess Gifts, Coworkers and more.  How can you go wrong?

Closed Maple Weekend 2020

With regret we are closing for Maple Weekend this year due to the COVID-19 risks to all.  Our customers, friends and family are all very important to us and we want to do our part in following the guidance put forward by our State and National officials to limit the spread.  The CDC has just recommended no gatherings of 50 or more.  While we’ll miss the camaraderie and enjoyment of the day seeing old friends and meeting new, there is no substitute for safety.   Your health is everything so the saying goes.  So we offer our best to all for continued wellness while we wait for the virus cycle to ease and things can get back to a more normal lifestyle.

Best Wishes,

Sue and Brian
