Coombs Family Farms Maple Syrup

Review by Jennifer Levitan

When I sit down to enjoy a plate full of fluffy pancakes or fresh waffles, only 100% pure maple syrup will do. I was thrilled to discover the 100% organic maple syrup made by the Coombs Family Farms in Vermont. Organic syrup! I couldn't believe it. The grade B syrup was dark, rich, and was perfect on pancakes, waffles, and in recipes. I had never had grade B before and I honestly prefer the deeper flavor it provides to the standard grade A syrup. Coombs Family Farms also makes maple syrup candy which was heavenly! The candy was crisp on the outside, and smooth and creamy on the inside. I had planned on only taking a bite and then I couldn't stop eating it until it was gone. The maple flavor was again deep and satifying, and I appreciated that there were no artificial ingredients or high fructose corn syrup in the candy.
