🎄🍁 Well… apparently everyone is ready for Christmas! 🍁🎄
My phone has been blowing up with vendors wanting to be part of Maple & Mistletoe, and what a wonderful problem to have!
We truly wish we could make room for everyone, but because this is an outdoor event, we want to keep things tucked in, twinkly and cozy — that warm little country Christmas atmosphere we’re dreaming of. ✨🔥
Vendor spaces will be limited and carefully curated to help us create just the right mix.
🎁 Vendor applications will open Monday, August 24th!
More Maple & Mistletoe details are coming soon… 🎄🍁

🎄🍁 PSST......Something new is coming this Christmas…
MAPLE and MISTLETOE!!!

Picture twinkling lights, crackling fires, warm drinks in your hands, Christmas music, beautiful holiday touches and a carefully curated market of local makers.
Rustic, cozy and full of that old-fashioned country Christmas magic — the kind of evening that makes you want to slow down, stay awhile and soak it all in. ❤️
We’re still in the early stages of planning, but Maple and Mistletoe is beginning to take shape.
🎄 SAVE THE DATE — Friday, December 4, 2026
A cozy country Christmas is coming…
Watch for more details to come! 🍁✨

Food for thought!

“Sugar-Free Maple Syrup” Isn’t Maple Syrup
We’ve had quite a few customers tell us lately that they’ve purchased “sugar-free maple syrup” — even from maple producers.
Here’s the thing: real maple syrup cannot be sugar-free.
Pure maple syrup is made by boiling maple sap. Its natural sugars are part of what makes maple syrup, maple syrup.
Products labelled “sugar-free maple syrup” are actually maple-flavoured substitutes, usually made with sweeteners, flavourings and other ingredients. And while they may taste maple-ish, they don’t offer the same naturally occurring minerals, antioxidants and plant compounds found in 100% pure maple syrup.
🍁 If you’re buying maple for more than just sweetness, check the label.
100% Pure Maple Syrup = the real thing.
“Sugar-Free Maple” = maple-flavoured syrup.
