Syrup fit for a Prince

[cheesegenie]

Read in a farm paper about a Lanark County syrup producer (Dobbs family), that won at the Royal Fair in Toronto, and their syrup was included in a gift
basket to Prince Charles in November during a visit to Canada. Mr. Dobbs was
asked to meet with the Prince in less than 24 hours notice and did. He said the prince was very interested in how syrup was made etc. Just thought I would share this, even if you are not a fan of the Monarchy, it would have been a proud moment for any syrup producer.Congratulations.

That sounds like royal syrup to me! Hats off to the producer.

Great!

Congratulations to the producer!
Doesn't surprise me that Prince Charles was very interested in maple sugar production. My understanding is that Charles is keenly interested in local, sustainable agriculture.

When I was a kid growing up in Alberta our life's adventure was the train trip across Canada every fall to the Toronto Royal fair with cattle and sleeping in a box car. They don't subsidize western farmers anymore to go to the fair.

Congrats to the Dobbs Family.
It is always an honor to meet with people like this!!!
I bet there is a picture hanging in the sugarhouse honoring that get together!!!
That is something to be proud of.
