That is not true. When you control 70% of the market some is blended. Some from local VTsugar houses is blended as well. What do you think Morse Farm is pulling from that 50 gallon barrel and putting in the creeme machine.

Quebec produces all the same grades as VT and it tastes the same.

I know everyone here is into VT exceptionalism but it’s just not the case. The syrup produced in Quebec 50 miles north of the Brannons farms in Fairfield is the same as the stuff produced on this side of the imaginary line.

Stop spreading lies like it’s all blended. At least just be honest and say you have either never had it, prefer VT products for non flavor response of at the very least compare graded syrup to graded syrup and not blended.

Not long ago a border patrol agent was moonlighting as a serial prostitute murder, he got past the polygraph too. I know people who passed their polygraph despite having done some really messed up stuff in the past like drug dealing and I know other guys who are choirboys and the person running their polygraph accused them of being murderers, drug dealers and pedophiles. The problem is twofold, polygraphs don’t work and the people administering them are incompetent and often biased.

I love a local sugar house for regular, everyday, deep flavored syrup. However, Runamok’s ginger infused syrup on some vanilla ice cream is hard to beat and the cinnamon is killer on blueberry pancakes. There’s room for all kinds of syrup imho!

That’s what usually happens. They’re found not credible so can’t be involved in prosecution of cases so the jurisdiction just moves them to another county where the States Attorney isn’t aware that they’re a lying criminal piece of garbage. Ot they quit and go in to work for other law enforcement agencies. This is a common practice everywhere even here in Vermont.

The history of this place is nuts. A mansion built for an out of stater with big money in the early 1900s. Turned to a catholic novitiate mid 1900s. Then practically gifted to start up a college (SVC). College folds under massive debt in 2019. Trying to recoup the loses, the remaining trustees sign a lease and purchase and sale agreement with a Hasidic Jewish group from NJ/NY, who bring a couple hundred campers up in the middle of Covid summer 2020 to get some fresh air. Town goes bonkers over the noise and Covid protocols, and sees what might happen if these folks actually buy it. Local hospital steps up in the foreclosure bidding war to stop a potential yeshiva/Hasidic community like Kiryas Joel or Monsey. The hospital sits on the place for a couple years until they can find a buyer who’s plans won’t turn the community to absolute shit. Thank you SVHC (hospital) for stepping up…

The last place I saw a dentist was over an hour away, they had a sliding scale for non-medicaid covered procedures (so anything that beyond pulling a tooth), I just can't go back there I had a horrible experience (one of my many reasons for my dental anxiety).

I'm gonna keep trying, it's just even the calling the dentist gives me anxiety (which today is a good example of why when the lady was very rude to me about how they wouldn't see me for an emergency)

I looked for two years and had to get a credit card to pay. I also drive an hour and 25 min to get to there lol.

I also have Medicaid and was told nowhere is taking new patients on Medicaid and some places might phase it out.
