Iirc, we have a couple members here who produce syrup. Talking to a friend I mentioned that and he wants some, told me to pass along his phone number. If you're interested pm me and I'll give you his number. He lives in Missouri.
Frankly the cost of mailing the syrup is about the same as the cost of a quart of real maple syrup. So pretty close to $40 total. Prohibitive from my point of view.
Bret hooked me up with a local farmer in his AO before he passed. Best Maple Syrup I have ever had. I f you are interested, pls send me a pm, and I will provide you the supplier's info.
