Maple syrup giveaway!

maple syrup giveawayNow is your chance to not only sample but to enjoy a jar of fresh, 100% natural, homemade maple syrup! This is not just any syrup, it is special grade syrup made from the sap of South-Central Kentucky maple trees. These trees were grown sustainably and organically, happily enjoying life while growing in the fertile soils and clean air of Kentucky with plenty of fresh water and sunshine. After being gently tapped, sap from the trees was collected and then boiled over a real wood fire in order to concentrate the sugars and highlight the maple goodness that typifies real maple syrup.

One lucky winner will receive a jar containing approximately 20 ounces of select grade, organically grown maple syrup. To enter the contest and have a chance to win this fabulous prize, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post. Those who have already commented stating their desire to be considered will automatically be entered. All comments for entrance must be received before I finish my chores and breakfast on Monday morning, March 9, 2010 (I might sleep late, or I might not, so no definite time will be stated). After I have finished my chores and breakfast, I will randomly select one entrant as the winner of the first New Kentucky Homestead maple syrup giveaway. The winner will be announced Monday morning immediately after the drawing.

If you want to increase your chance of winning, then refer someone to my blog. If someone leaves a comment stating that he/she was referred by you, then I’ll enter your name an additional time for each referral. That’s it. Good luck!

Am I eligible for your giveaway? It doesn't say anything about family, does it?

I'd love some of your syrup. Tell Naomi to pick my name out of the hat! (or however you're randomly picking the winner)

Well, since you live so far away, Anna, I guess it's alright. You might have to come here to pick it up, though!

SFG, I've got a great visual of your hand waving as you holler, "Pick me! Pick me!" :)

Cindy Pifer

nope, can't pick Anna, have to pick me. Can't let your parents come out here and be stuck with the store bought stuff, can you???

Oh, and Anna did send me.

?????

Darryl, you are living the good life. I am excited to see that cow is growing. I am going to be ready for the ribeye sooner than later.

Blessings,
Love you Bro,
BL

Peggy

Hey, I'm not related to you so i should be the one to win!!!

I read Cindy's and Anna's posts on Facebook and they spurred me on to entering!!! but i would have made it here myself eventually.

I grew up in upstate NY, but moved to MD. I miss homemade syrup. Please include me in the picking. Thank you -- email: chris at brandywinehouse.us.

long distance (shipping required) allowed to enter?? would love the chance to sample the goodies!

dp

I'm going to pay for shipping. It will be free to whomever wins (hopefully not in some far away country that it'll cost $30 to mail it. . .). All I get out of this is the enjoyment of watching people's excitement. That's worth it!

Cheryl

This jumped out at me from my facebook newsfeed! - Reading about your family and lifestyle was lovely. - It's so nice to know that some people really do manage to do it!
We have chickens, and are aiming to grow a reasonable amount of veg in our garden this year. - On with the wellies! ( English weather and all! )
We too keep the days you do, - the Spring cleaning etc is coming up fast! with kind regards to you and your family. :) Cheryl.

I like maple syrup, but Marleen likes it even more. She also likes giveaways, so I am posting for her.

If I referred myself, does that increase my chances?

I think local, simple businesses are wonderful--I encourage the continued making of these products.

Good luck with your contest.
