    At the liquor store on I-95 there is a NH gift shop selling gallons for 75 bucks...

    Must be their mark up... At hannafords I see qts for 26 bucks, and it is a toss up as to if it is real.

    Real, to me is nothing added, just nothing but fire.. I read here some guys add crap, and to me anything you add is crap. I don't even add a single drop of cream finishing.

    Half gallon---$32
    Quart---$18
    Pint---$10
    Half pint---$6
    3.4 oz---$3
    8.45 oz glass---$10

    I'm also keeping my prices the same as last year because of the economy. I sell just about all of my syrup at farmers' markets and have had no complaints about my prices.

    Lady in school wanted some syrup but shes spoiled. Says syrup is to high in Quebec as she used to buying it from the Amish in Ontario. I am only asking $12 for a liter and they want $20 some in the stores here for the same so I figure I am reasonable.
    maybe 50 taps for 2011
    Finally ready to boil when I get enough sap
    I just might be crazy.( make that I know I am)
    Trees all tapped except the ones with 5 feet of snow.

    Dave Y, c'mon, that is a ridiculous price. Where did she buy it at? Price Chopper? I never heard of it going above $48/gal. locally here in Northern VT.

    Maybe the cost of living is higher in Southern VT. 300 miles away may be the difference! Wow, I wish I could get that price.

    Our prices stayed the same from 2008 to 2009 and we sold out both years.

    $45 - gallon
    $25 - 1/2 gallon
    $15 - quart
    $9 - pint
    $6 - 1/2 pint

    We will be raising prices this year as we've drained the savings account putting in improvements. Haven't settled on what those prices will be yet, but seeing everyone's posts and thoughts here sure helps!

    oops, I think I was thinking of Bennington not Brattleboro. Regardless, that is a high price. I sell gallons to my co-workers for $40.
