March at the Market

This Week – March 1, 2020

A suggestion for an excellent and appropriate way to welcome March (in like a lion?): have a pancake party as an excuse to open a new bottle of Wohlschlegel’s maple syrup. This week Bobbi will have everything maple: bourbon barrel aged maple syrup, maple mustard; maple BBQ sauce; maple cotton candy; maple coated almonds, cashews, and pecans; traditional, cinnamon, and raspberry maple cream spread; pure NYS maple syrup in flavors golden, amber, dark, and very dark; granulated maple sugar; maple garlic rub; maple coffee and tea; wheat-free oatmeal maple dog treats; soft and hard sugar shapes; and body-care products — maple vanilla soap, lotion, and lip balm.
