Russ brings up a good point. Its tough to comment since every market/customer is different. I would certainly rather buy from Russ or another Trader than Bascoms. Nothing against Bascoms I get a lot of supplies there still, but I would rather get syrup from a name and a face and support a fellow sugar maker directly. Don't sell yourself short just because it is "bulk". Bulk to you and I may mean something different than a >20K tap operation. Its ok to carry some syrup over til next year also...think of it as insurance.
