"When I was a child I remember a lot more peep frogs
in the spring. After the Vermont snowpak would melt, it was common to drive by
a beaver pond or lake and hear peep frogs singing away. Before I moved down
to Key West FL (a few years back) it seemed like there was a
lot less of that 'peeping' and it made me wonder, are our
frogs in trouble?
"Now I live in Key West and the first year I remember seeing frogs on our patio, but
over the past 2 years, no frogs. Again I gotta wonder, is the mosquito control
spraying affecting the frogs? Now they're trying to release
genetically modified mosquitoes
to control the mosquito population. Hmmm? What will that do to the
environment long term?
"So yes I'm concerned about our frogs because they are a wonderful indicator as to
the true health of our environment."

Each gift box contains 24 maple sugar candies shaped like
small turtles and frogs (12 each). The candies are made from 100% pure
Vermont maple syrup. Each candy weighs approximately 0.3 oz. - a
nice bite size! Wrapped with green ribbon and a custom tag, this
Vermont gift is ideal for anyone who appreciates quality gifts made
right here in the USA, and gifts that help keep our natural resources
clean for future generations to enjoy.
**Made in a facility that also produces products
that contain; peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, and wheat.
Keeping the candy fresh - Our maple candy is made in small batches
and shipped fresh with a 1-2 month shelf life, after which the
candy is still eatable, but simply starts to harden. You can extend the
shelf life by refrigerating the candy in a Zip Lock bag.
