Heading for US-1, I was approaching Chase Farms when I spotted their sign that read; MAKING MAPLE SYRUP TODAY. I pulled into the parking lot. Inside, I was directed to the large greenhouse room where the evaporator was set up. There, a gentleman was stoking the fire with two more big logs. He offered a small paper cup with a sample of the syrup being made. It was very hot. It took 5 minutes to cool it off to a medium temperature. It was the dark amber syrup that’s richer, sweeter, has a stronger flavor and is perfect with pancakes. As expected, it had a very strong maple flavor and was quite sweet just as it should be. It was delicious. Out in the store, there were bottles in different sizes for sale. I also visited the Chase Farms Bakery section where I got a Maple Cream Whoopie Pie at $3.99. Also in the Bakery, freshly-baked pies were cooling on the back counter. They smelled wonderful. There were also freshly-baked quick breads. The Blueberry Breads looked really good. Maybe next time. Chase Farms has been family-owned and continually-operated since the 1600’s. It sells its own produce and farm-raised beef and pork products. The animals are fed an all-natural diet with no antibiotics or growth hormones. Chase Farms also sells Bell & Evans chicken which I all-natural. A woman was restocking some of the newly-arrived chicken products during my visit. Tackling the Maple Cream Whoopie Pie was a daunting experience. It was huge ~ bigger and thicker than an 8 oz. hamburger. I had to eat it in six parts as it was quite sweet and quite rich. It was also quite delicious. I liked the very strong maple flavor. As a native New Englander, I love the maple flavor in syrup, foods and even coffee. I’ve been shopping with Chase Farms at this store and the seasonal outpost stand on US-1 for many years and have been pleased with everything I’ve purchased. The quality is topnotch. I rate Chase Farms at 5.0 and highly recommend a visit any time of year. If you found this review helpful, please click THANK below.
