Today is a very important day; it’s National Maple Syrup Day! Maple syrup is used for so much more than just on pancakes or waffles. You can find maple syrup in cookies, drizzled on oatmeal, or even on your spaghetti! (Buddy the Elf, anyone?)
At Price Chopper and Market 32, we are proud to partner with a variety of local maple farms in our region to bring you the season’s best. Three farms we would like to highlight today are Adirondack Maple Farms (NY), Highland Sugarworks (VT), and Lamothe’s Sugar House (CT). Let’s see what they are all about!
Adirondack Maple Farms: Fonda, New York
Adirondack Maple Farms has been around for almost 50 years. Originally started by Bruce Roblee, the farm is now run by him and his son. “Adirondack Maple Farms prides itself on providing an extraordinary quality product with top-notch customer service.”

Highland Sugarworks: Barre, Vermont
Highland Sugarworks was founded in 1968 by Jim MacIssac. He built his one and only sugarbush on the land he leased from his parents, packed the syrup and distributed it to local stores. In 2009, Highland Sugarworks relocated to a much larger location. “This 37,600 square-foot facility has been designed to accommodate additional high-speed bottling as well as streamlining all aspects of product handling, warehousing and shipping.”
Highland Sugarworks has a deep concern for the protection of the environment, and strives to improve their work methods.

Lamothe’s Sugar House: Burlington, Connecticut
The Lamothes began making maple syrup in 1971. When Leonard Lamothe found taps for maple syrup, he and his sister decided to research how to make maple syrup at their local library.
Over time, the family learned the ins and outs of producing maple syrup and eventually moved their outdoor kitchen indoors. Their turning point was when a gentleman noticed they had been boiling sap and inquired about purchasing a quart of maple syrup from them. The family knew they were at the start of something huge!

It is the most delicious time of the year! Dairy foods have been part of holiday cheer for hundreds of years, from the humble butter cookie to an inspiring Baked Brie Wreath, there is something for everyone and every celebration!
Holidays are a great time to enjoy those special family offerings that only grace the table at this time of year, or to create some new traditions with an exciting new recipe. It can also be a very busy time of year – nutrient rich dairy is ready to energize those busy days and festive evenings!
At home or away, a Christmas Charcuterie Board or a Charcuterie Wreath is a beautiful display of favorite cheeses, premium meats, crackers or bread, fruit and savory snacks. These recipes and tips will help you plan and share the joy of giving with each delicious bite! I love the idea of using cookie cutters to add holiday fun and cheer to the presentation – this is also a fun way for children to help make something special with you. Cut up some extra cheese and put aside some of the nuts, crackers and dried fruit to make a satisfying and easy grab-n-go snack that can fuel you well while you shop and wrap!
Love eggnog? Everyone in my house does! Eggnog is a traditional holiday drink with a rich history, and rich in recipe options, like this Eggnog Cheesecake . It’s a natural ingredient for a holiday bread pudding, and a wonderful breakfast treat in overnight oats with chia seeds and spices! It is also handy to have on hand for family or friends who stop by – children and adults can enjoy it anytime, and it can be a lovely cocktail with a dash of rum or bourbon.
Dairy is also part of holiday traditions for Hanukkah, like this Lemon Ricotta and Cherry Kugel, and Kwanzaa, like these savory Cheddar Cornbread Squares, and other cultural celebrations from around the world. Dairy may be historically central to some recipes and may help bridge traditions in others – it’s versatility is boundless.
Don’t forget the cookies and milk for Santa! You can be sure you will be on Santa’s nice list making one of these Holidairy Magic Milk recipes to serve with those essential cookies! Dairy Ambassador Justin Mesch has created a Dark Chocolate Cherry Magic Milk, and Dairy Ambassador Jessica Maslyn shares her warm Gingerbread Magic Milk.

Milk, butter, cream, and cheese enhance both savory and sweet dishes, offering depth, richness, and balance. With dairy, you can make any holiday recipe memorable for family and friends.

The holidays are right around the corner, which means flashy lights, colorful ornaments, shiny tinsel and blow ups of Frosty the Snowman will be in every direction that you turn! Though the flashiness of the decorations can be beautiful, sometimes you may want to go back and just enjoy the simplicity of a natural green wreath.
Wreaths are a beautiful and classic decoration that can be adorned on windows, doors, fireplaces and practically anywhere you can think of. That being said, as beautiful as wreaths are, they can tend to look a bit plain if you’re not a fan of the all-natural look.
But, what if you still want a natural looking wreath with decorations that aren’t flashy? We can help! Decorating a holiday wreath doesn’t have to be boring. Use items from around your house to create a beautifully unique wreath that will catch the eyes of anyone.
We’re going to make two different types of garland to wrap around your beautiful wreath with supplies that you can find in your house, or yard!
Garland One: a classic garland strand that is easy and delicious to make! All you need is popcorn (preferably not buttered) and cranberries. This is a classic staple to any holiday time décor . . . and it’s easy to make as well. Pop your popcorn and have thread and a sewing needle at the ready. Once you have acquired your ingredients, lace your popcorn and cranberries in any pattern that you like. The great part about garland is that it’s all up to you! Design and create the perfect strand of garland that will look great on your wreath.
Garland Two: this is a strand of garland that is a bit more difficult to create, but still equally as beautiful. All you need are dried oranges, cinnamon sticks, small pinecones and twine. You may be asking; how do I make dried oranges? Don’t worry, it’s simple:
Take an orange (preferably naval, or blood orange) and cut it into various wheels. Pat your citrus dry with a paper towel and arrange on a baking sheet. Now this is the boring part . . . place the sheet in the oven at 170 degrees for six to seven hours! Rotate the baking sheet every two to three hours to prevent burning. This is a tedious step, but it will ensure completely dried oranges and a wonderful smelling home!
Now, take your dried oranges and weave twine in and out its dried flesh (be careful not to tear anything).
Now that we have dried oranges, it’s time to put everything together! Use your twine and–to your liking–combine your cinnamon sticks, pinecones and oranges.
Making decorations for the winter season is easy. There are plenty of ingredients and supplies to make exciting and eye-catching wreaths for the whole winter season!
