I left a voice mail and an e mail..pete returned my call But i missed that,,got his cell number,,have left 3 voice mails on his cell phone,,no return call....im guessing they are pretty busy,,,,but,,,they dont seem desperate for syrup......
I will keep trying
Im not saying that they are not great folks,,i have no idea......i am saying the statement that there is not an oversupply of syrup is false.....
Im looking forward to speaking to the man....
Funny,,,still no return phone call from mister roth.....seem like if the wanted syrup they would respond????
Just trying to hype the market, sell supplies and blow smoke i think
Mr roth if you want bulk syrup i can put you together a couple loads right off if you want to pay the rate......your challange has been answered....your response??
Agine my cell number is 603 491 0082,,,,,,,,
Have there been any changes to the bulk price for dark syrup? This thread has gotten hard to find that and I went back several pages and couldn't find a price. Is it still around $2? I'm looking to buy some from a producer and I want to give a fair deal before he sells it to a packer.
Bascom via phone last week stated
$1.90 for dark robust.
$1.75 extra dark strong.
$.90-$1.10 off,ropy,non filtered.
Hope this helps.
Dark currently at $1.90
Parker I think its a little more complicated than just simply posting to a forum taunting a man about how and why he runs his business a certain way. I see you buy syrup what is your price your willing to pay TODAY for bulk. Now I will give you this disclaimer I buy all my supplies from Roth because I believe that having a good relationship with your buyer and supplier is a good decision on my part. I also don't and have ever felt that I had to sell my syrup to them at their price. I own my drums and can play the market as I see fit.
I also know that right now the season is really bad in the north west part of the state and there is a big bottler up there so everyone is playing the wait and see game. Now maybe Pete will give you a call buy your syrup at $2.00 a pound and have someone in Vermont come pick it up and he will resell for $2.60 per pound and make a nice tidy $375.00 a drum for your sweat and labor.
I would also bet Pete doesn't come on this or any other forum.
Big article on the front page of the April issue of The Maple News quoting Peter Roth as saying there is no surplus, no supply of maple syrup. Read the article. Said he couldn’t fill his contracts because he couldn’t find any syrup to buy.

The article states there was no carryover syrup from 2017 in his warehouse. It also says this: "Roth who has a 16,000-tap operation of his own was collecting sap for the first time on Monday and expecting to make the first new barrels of the season to fill his warehouse."Quote:

I took it as, unlike Bascom's and other buyers/packers that claim they have carryover supply from 2017, Roth does not.
I read the artical on line earlier,,,,im not taunting anyone...he challenged anyone to find him loads,,,i can.and i would be happy to connect buyers with sellers..if you want to pay a fair price
I was able to speak with Mr. Roth this morning, nice guy to talk to..he might have difficulty finding syrup in the northeast with what he is willing to pay and his barrel policy. (Mabey you can get a better deal than what i was offered,,b
Dont know)
But as the crop is totaled things might change..time will tell
And im really happy with who i sell my syrup to.
Roth is a big buyer. It would be like saying Bascom is going to fill his warehouse with the syrup he makes.
