PSA for maple syrup lovers
Costco has the Canadian maple syrup in the "liquor bottles" with the Grolsch caps again. Last year's batch was the best and freshest I'd ever tasted. I'm sure this year's batch will also be fantastic.

Have you ever had any maple syrup from Highland County?

I used to go turkey hunting with my father in Highland County about this
time every year (near McDowell). It was magical sitting on top of a ridge looking out over the mountains when they were in fall color surrounded by silence and the smell of newly fallen leaves.

Saw maple trees tapped at Clinch River State Park in Wise Co
Hiking the Sugar Hill loop, didn't dawn on me why it was called that until I saw the lines carrying the sap to a collection station why it was called Sugar HiIl.

Never heard of it.

You should try a bottle sometime. You might be pleasantly surprised
because a couple of the farms have won awards for their syrup over the years. The maple glazed doughnuts may be my favorite food at the Highland Co. Maple Festival.

I have- very good. If you go during their festival, you can see it cooking.

I would agree it is very good. Depending on the food, it is next to
impossible to differentiate it from Vermont syrup or Canadian syrup.
