We’re Ready and Willing to be Your Wholesale Partner

A Sweet Partnership

As the calendar turned to 2025 and we finished our end-of-year paperwork, we noticed a small detail on a receipt we were moving from one file to another: One of our wholesale customers has been buying bulk maple syrup since 2001. That gave us pause — for 24 years, we’ve been bringing our maple syrup to this commercial bakery, a partnership we’re fiercely proud of.

It also motivates us. At Branon Family Maple Orchards, we work hard to deliver the best price for Vermont maple syrup. Today, our retail price is well below the average $57.10 per gallon trend the USDA reports. Our wholesale price of maple syrup is also below the national average, and we’re confident we can help other small businesses save money when they buy maple syrup.

“It does seem like the price of all food is on a steep rise,” said Cecile Branon, who coordinates the wholesale program. “If we can save somebody money on their maple, hopefully, that lessens what has to be passed on to the consumer.”

Can Branon Family Maple Orchards be your wholesale supplier of Vermont maple syrup? We think so. Here’s why…

Our Bulk Customers

Through the decades we’ve been in business, we’ve seen a wide array of other small companies buying wholesale maple syrup from us. In addition to the artisan bakery that’s been with us for nearly a quarter of a century, we sell to cafes (if you’re ever in Sonoma, CA., consider brunch at Sunflower Cafe), restaurants, coffee shops (try a maple latte from Kestrel Coffee in Burlington, VT) and specialty food producers.

The fact that our syrup is certified organic and comes from Audubon-certified bird-friendly forests is important to other food producers who deliver delicious products that are sustainably sourced.

Getting It To You

Maple syrup is heavy. A gallon weighs about 11 pounds. Shipping looms as one of the biggest challenges all maple producers have. We’ve tried many cost-saving ways to ship maple syrup to our wholesale customers, and we’re still creatively exploring all kinds of alternatives.

So, how do we get it to you? Well, it depends.

Some customers need only a few gallons a month. We monitor shipping rates and dates to ensure we keep costs to a minimum. Typically, once a business develops a rhythm, FedEx Ground is the most effective and less expensive way to ship syrup.

We can deliver to customers in northwestern Vermont. For instance, our long-running bakery customer prefers reusable 5-gallon jugs, so we fill them up, secure them in the back of our pickup and deliver them to the loading dock.

Some customers require more than 5-gallon jugs. We also sell syrup by the 55-gallon barrel, which requires working with OTR truckers. We have experience in that, having trucked our syrup across the United States.

Not Just Syrup

While Vermont maple syrup is the core product in our customized wholesale program, everything we make can be bought at wholesale prices. We’ve found our granulated maple sugar, maple cream, and vinegars are of interest to many bakeries, restaurants, and specialty food producers.

Let’s Work Together!

While some minimum orders may be required, we promise we will work with you to create a package that meets your exact wholesale and food service needs. And we will work closely with you to find the most affordable shipping alternatives for getting you bulk maple syrup (or other products).
