Coombs Family Farms - Review & Giveaway




Okay, so I am not sure if I should admit this...let's hope that M and B's dentist isn't reading:) My kids LOVE pancakes; they love them so much that they both eat one almost everyday and what's a pancake without syrup? Thanks to Coombs Family Farms our whole family was able to try out so organic maple products! We received the Pure Maple Syrup, Pure Maple Sugar, Pure Maple Candy (.75 oz maple man version) and loads of maple recipes!

As soon as I poured that first drop of Maple Syrup on M and B's pancakes, you could just tell a difference (maybe that's because I always buy the light syrup, but this was thick and smelt wonderful.) I gave it to M and B and sat back and watched...if you know my children change is a hard thing for them to go through. Sometimes it is welcomed with open arms and others it's like pulling teeth; this time--the arms were open and they both devoured the pancakes and wanted seconds!

The Pure Maple Sugar is used as a healthy alternative sweetener...so what did I do with it? I used it on my banana bread and was it delicious! And so easy to use. I was a bit nervous about replacing my regular old white sugar with this hearty Maple Sugar, but it turned out better than I would have imaged.

As for the little Maple Sugar Candy Man--I haven't gotten a chance to eat it yet. I am saving it for Thanksgiving:)

Thanks so much Coombs Family Farms for a great organic experience!

About Coombs Family Farms:

Coombs Family Farms is a seventh generation small family maple farm that works with other small independent family farmers who share our commitment to quality, environmental stewardship, and sustainable forestry.

Coombs Family Farms does this by providing preseason equipment credits and education resources to individuals who work hard every day to maintain our American small farm heritage. Together, we understand that there are no shortcuts to creating high quality 100% pure maple syrup.

Our Coombs Family Farms Commitment: We are committed to producing high quality maple products and protecting our forests. Learn more about our environmental commitment.

Because my kids LOVE maple candy (maple is the ONLY ingredient, which is great for food allergy sufferers!). And the Coombs candy is some of the best we've tried.

Hoping to win!!!

I haven't had 'real' maple syrup since I was a kid... I would love to introduce my kids to 'the good stuff' ;-)

thesehappydays November 19, 2009 7:59 PM  

I would love to have these products because they are certified that no pesticides are used on or near the farm and that appropriate cleaning processes are followed.

I checked them out and it made me remember all the tiny little tubes of maple syrup we used to "drink" at the Ohio State Fair every year. I remember the amazing taste of the maple syrup. I want to win this prize to bring back all those tastes I remember!

I would love to have these because PURE maple tastes so much better than the sugared up stuff. This company has been doing it for seven generations...I am pretty sure they know what good maple tastes like! :)

I love maple syrup & I see they have maple sugar granules and a pancake mix with maple granules already in it! I'd like to win this because maple syrup is so expensive that I tend to be stingy with it.

I'd love to have these products because the holidays are coming and I would love to serve my sweet potato and maple pie using this syrup. Oh, it is so good. And maple syrup is rather pricey.

I will only use maple syrup on pancakes and waffles, because I refuse to eat/feed my kids the 'fake' syrup full of high fructose corn syrup.

A seventh generation farm? Incredible for this day and age. To keep a small business in the family that long is heartwarming. My husband and I have a small business and I hope to someday pass it along to my kids. Maybe we can get seven generations too! Any company that is so lovingly cared for, deserves my business. I'd love to support this company by using their products!
