Growing up, my mother gave us only syrups such as, Log Cabin, Hungry Jack, etc., so that is all I've ever used, whether poured on foods or in baking. I have tried pure maple syrup, only a few times, store-bought and in restaurants; however, I disliked the taste and assumed that is what all maple syrups tasted like, so I stuck with what I grew up on. I am in my 60's now and needed to purchase a "pure" maple syrup to be used in detox-cleansing drinks, which prompted an in-depth research. I learned about the different types of pure maple, their nutrients, and the taste differences. After reviewing what various companies have to offer and seeing the cost of these products, I was fearful of making a purchase per chance it didn't meet my expectations. I finally settled, though skeptical, on Old State Farms, Pure Maple, Very Dark Unfiltered and with just my first taste...WOW!!! No wonder why I dislike store-bought and what restaurants serve; I had no idea what the "real thing" tasted like. I also learned about how the Burkett's went from collecting sap to ultimately founding Old State Farms. It's a really cute story the way he describes it. The only down side for me is that my consumption of syrup has decreased dramatically, so I don't purchase it regularly anymore, but that said, whenever I am in need of pure maple, since Old State Farms offers a product that is high in nutritional value, and since I have already experienced the awesome flavor of their syrup, I will repeatedly purchase from them. As for the positive reviews that others have left regarding this...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI purchased one of their Mother's Day Gift Packages, the Breakfast Bundle. I also purchased a bag of the Maple Glazed Walnuts & Pecans. I ordered the products May 6, 2023 and my Mother received it May 11, 2023. Several days before Mother's Day. She loved the pancakes and syrup. I'm sure the candy was fine also, I don't expect her to eat much of that. Though she did say she would add the candy to her coffee. Hmnnn, good idea. My Mother Loves pecans/walnuts, so when she received the package I have a feeling she ate them right away and loved them. For when she received the package, she thanked me and told me it was delicious and couldn't wait to try the coffee flavored syrup. My Mother is 90 years sage and doing great. Since she loves to cook and bake still, this was a great gift and an unusual one. I have been purchasing Old State Farm's Unfiltered Dark Maple Syrup for a few years now and I had no reservations that their other products would be stellar as well. Thank you, Old State Farm, you made my Mother's Mother's Day! (several states away from each other didn't stop us from being connected and having another great...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWow! Perfect for bourbon lovers... So delicious!! I found these Old State Farms maple syrup in a market North of Pittsburgh. I was fascinated by the barrel aged concept and picked up a bottle of Rum Barrel and a bottle of Bourbon Barrel maple syrup. The rum one was good, and the bourbon one is WOW! It is definitely my favorite. It is sweet but not over powering with sweetness. The syrup has the perfect consistency... Not too runny and not too thick. I made some pancakes to eat this with, and instead of using a fork and knife, eating the pancake properly, I ended up rolling the pancake up and dipping it into the syrup. I don't drink alcohol but really enjoy some of the alcoholic beverages without the alcohol in food items. This bourbon syrup made my list of food products that I will get again. I gave the rest of the bourbon maple syrup to one of my bosses to try, and you should have seen his face when he tasted the bourbon syrup. It lit up. He really likes it. I'm going to get some to give away...
