FAIRFIELD, Vt.—Branon Family Maple Orchards is the latest operation to come out with pouch packaging.

Called “Maple to Go!” the family farm says the new packaging system “allows maple lovers to bring pure Vermont maple syrup along with them wherever and whenever they travel.”

“We had people tell us they wanted to bring our maple syrup with them whenever they went someplace, but they couldn’t justify lugging a pint jug around,” said Cecile Branon, co-owner of 80,000-tap Branon Family Maple Orchards located in Fairfield, Vt.

Maple to Go! is a 3.4-ounce (100 ml) food-grade pouch of organic Grade A amber/rich Vermont maple syrup with a re-closable, no-mess twist cap that allows for multiple usage.

Branon said she spent months testing and retesting the pouches’ effectiveness.

“We’ve consistently proven that these pouches retain the flavor as well as the color or maple syrup better than, or equal to, traditional maple syrup containers,” she said.

The product aims to tap into the so-called lifestyle market which includes backpackers, hikers, bikers, campers and “those living the van life,” the farm said in an announcement.

Branon said Maple to Go! also gives maple lovers a convenient option for bringing Vermont Maple Syrup into restaurants that serve only processed, imitation syrup.
