Baking small-batch, maple-sweetened foods is how Butterfly Bakery of Vermont began, and it’s still at the heart of what we do. Being recognized in such a competitive category is a tremendous honor.

Almost of the year's peppers are in and our kitchen smells like fall. This month’s micro batches are all about autumn flavors.

We first cooked up Maple Wood Smoked Onion Hot Sauce in 2015, back when Vermont’s own Bernie Sanders was running for president. We called the sauce Feel the Bern and donated a portion of sales to his campaign. By the time the campaign ended, the sauce had taken on a life of its own. Folks bought it the first time for the politics, but they came back for the flavor.
