A little late in posting, but check out this article that we were interviewed for, along with Jackls' Whataview Farm & Weaver who has been a part of Maple Syrup Fest since the beginning!

From breakfast oatmeal to brandy old fashioneds at night, maple syrup plays a starring role. Several communities around the state — including Phelps — celebrate the ingredient with festivals.

Amazing kind words! 🥰

I am at a loss for words about how wonderful Phelps Maple Syrup Fest was this year. Its always great, but year after year it grows. This is year was the most people ever. Not just for my demo, but the whole event. I am so lucky to be included. The event coordinators do such a good job. Of course the breakfast from Sunrise Lodge is amazing as well as the lunch from the Lyons club. It was SOOO NICE to see so many of your friendly faces at my demo. Thanks for the laughs and the gifts and the support. I truly enjoy meeting each and everyone of you. I hope I didn’t disappoint. My Northwoods followers really get me and my humor! Such a great and uplifting community day! I love it here 🍁🌲♥️I will be remaking the recipe and sharing it next week. So many of you showed up I had no food left to photograph! 🤣♥️I also love my partner judges for the maple syrup contest. Yay for Devin Biggs from channe 12 and Wisconsin’s own, Alice in Dairyland!
