I’m Mark Lawler, the founder of & Maple, and I’m excited to welcome you to my new blog, & That. This blog is a space where I can share my passion for all things culinary, especially those rooted in the rich traditions and flavors of Vermont.
With & Maple, I’m all about crafting premium products like my Applewood Smoked Dry Rub, made with the finest granulated maple sugar from Butternut Mountain Farm. But there’s so much more I want to share with you – from mouth-watering recipes and BBQ tips to stories about the local food scene and the art of sugaring.
