    Shaw's and all other grocery stores selling their syrup on shelf so...... everyone has a funny way of justifying their actions.

    I have property, friends and family up in the Jay area so plenty of birds to keep me posted, just not in the maple Industry. From what I was told, the guild was formed over a few beers between a few businessmen in New Jersey that never tapped a tree. I grew up in Long Island, New York so take it for me, nothing good comes out of Jersey… And please, don’t tell me the Sopranos. Forgetaboutit.

    Seeing their product on grocery store shelves is expected and acceptable. Seeing their syrup on the shelf of a small town market is not. Hasn’t happened yet for me(yet) but I would have no qualms of pointing it out to the owner that he’s taking up shelf space for a smaller, more local producer.
