“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 syrup...BELIEVE THEM!”
