There is a demand certainly for Vermont maple syrup. I believe it commands a higher price than maple syrup from other regions.
I was considering a business of this sort, but was a bit intimidated by having to keep a large amount of products in-stock and the price that would come with that kind of thing.
I was also turned off by the lack of apparent success of a similar website: http://www.bestofvermont.com/ http://www.bestofvermont.com/
Any thoughts on these two concerns?

- tptacek 13y agoI like maple syrup and I like cheese, at a level that puts me in perhaps the top quintile of HN syrup-and-cheese- likers, and I've never thought "you know what I need right now? Some Vermont." If you're serious about capitalizing on Vermont craft industries, something to consider is creating a brand. Don't sell "Vermont cheese" or "Vermont syrup"; sell "Awesome Craft Syrup (a product of Vermont)". Look at Zingerman's in Ann Arbor, MI for an example of this business executed at its highest levels.
