    Hi all maple'rs.. I would like to know where you Nova Scotians get your maple supplies, and your general location. I am from the Yarmouth area and it is a project to get anything related to maple here.I have been dealing with Kevin McCormick in Springhill and a lot of times there is a mix-up or a delay in getting stuff.I would like to find somewhere closer that I can drive to that is under 500 miles..... Thanks Vernon

    Any BMR's down your way? They can get most supplies and usually have a sales flyer in the new year.

    Hi Vernon,
    Your local Home Hardware can order all kinds of D&G stuff. Enfield HH called me the other day. They are gearing up for their annual booking order and asked if I wanted anything.
    Hope all is well in Maple Cove!
    Merry Christmas to you and Rolande.

    Thanks Maplebrook...I have been dealing with the Yarmouth Home Hardware and I have to pay the freight on anything I wont except taps which they stock and that is all they stock. I think I am the only one running a pipe line in this end of the province, but there should be some were in the valley that stocks some stuff. I stopped in Middleton at the CO-OP and they said I could order anything there but stock very little ?Also stopped at Scotia Gold in Coldbrook with the same answer. I have to plan at least a year ahead if I won't to expand at all. Thanks again Vernon

    You can buy at The Country Store in Coldbrook, between Kentville and Berwick on Evangeline Trail. I think he requires order in advance but there is a sign up for maple supplies at the moment so he may have stock at this season.
