From thrilling maple adventures to mouthwatering maple-inspired products, this event has it all, and we want you to join in on the fun!
From September 15 – October 15, 2023, Vermont businesses are invited to join forces with the Vermont Agency of Agriculture and organizations from across the state as we embark on a quest to help visitors and Vermonters alike discover new and delightful ways to indulge in Vermont's sweetest treat. Whether you have a cozy restaurant that serves up delectable maple-infused dishes or a farm that produces the finest maple syrup, we want you on board!
The best part? Participating in the Maple 100 is free, and you'll reap the benefits of a robust marketing campaign promoting your business to a captive audience of Vermont tourists during our busiest season. Imagine the influx of visitors, all eagerly searching for the next maple adventure or scrumptious maple-infused treat. This is your chance to shine and make a lasting impression on maple enthusiasts from near and far!
By creating lasting memories with unique and exciting experiences, we will help consumers "tap in" to the many wonderful uses of maple. We want them to know it's not just a breakfast sweetener and to take that knowledge home with them, so they think of maple and of Vermont when making future purchasing decisions. Tell us how you'd like to get involved! Maybe it's promoting a tantalizing maple-inspired product, hosting an unforgettable event, or creating a special Vermont Maple 100 menu at your restaurant. Whatever your connection to maple, we'd love to have you as part of this celebration!
