SPRU-SRUP®
Better than maple. There, we said it.

Wild foraged, soft, plush, new growth of the mighty spruce tree between 9,000 to 11,000 feet in elevation and then steeped in a 2:1 organic cane sugar : filtered water solution the perfect amount of time to maintain nothing but a sprucey after-aroma with full on sweet, fruity, nearly citrusy notes.

Simmered into a golden, rich, not-so-simple syrup of surprisingly fruity notes and undeniably sprucey aromas that make for an addictively sweet and mildly sour flavor experience.

Tag us in your sprucey creations! #sprusrup

Try it over ice cream, crepes, shaved ice, in hot cocoa, coffee, tea, milkshakes, cocktails, mocktails, soda, cake icing, and even as a glaze for fish and meat!

Straight from the Forest, for your utter delight.

COmugolio®
Colorado's Homage to the Old World Alpine Traditional "Treet."

Finally, an American-produced (non-imported!) mugolio wild crafted above 9,000 from immature female AND male cones of the lodgepole pine forests surrounding Lake Dillon, home of the world's highest elevation regatta.

A complex gustatory journey that's immediately sweet -- not at all piney -- before brightening with notes of vanilla, cinnamon & cloves, delivering a quick kick of spiciness that finishes boldly sweet and leaves the mouth and tongue with that signature tingle of Umami. Unbelievable, considering its origins. Undeniably delicious.

Help us end Veteran Homelessness (and Suicide) by re-positioning these highly trained and skilled and well-intentioned individuals at the edges of Civilization instead of uselessly in the heart of Commercial city centers, guarding the periphery of the Civilized World.

There are currently as many, if not more, homeless Veterans as there are employees in the entire Forest Service agency. The Forest Service needs People to methodically roam the millions of acres of National Forest. Our non-profit sister organization, the Spruce Healing Initiative, plans to be the spark that initiates the program for returning Veterans, EMTs, athletes, and anyone else seeking a deeply reconnecting experience to alleviate personally traumatic experiences and rekindle the camaraderie that's largely missing from modern Society. Building Community. From the edges to the very heart of Society.

Shipped in a USPS Priority Mail Padded Flat Rate Envelope,
your bottles will arrive in a custom cardboard box, wrapped in corrugated cardboard,
for 100% compostable packaging...and re-useable bubble wrap USPS packaging!

Most of the time, we like to include an extra little love note with beautiful artwork by a local artist and stickers and other cool stuff, too. Maybe some samples of other products, who knows?

Shelf life indefinite until opened. Best kept refrigerated after opening, 3-4 months. Shelf life at room temp debatable, but up to a month.

I prefer the Spru-Srup *shaken* into the tequila & ice in a Tequila Spru-Soda, before adding the soda. Tree-licious!

We're looking to become a seasonal ice cream flavor, so IF YOU KNOW AN ICE CREAM SHOP OWNER! (eh hem!) Tell them to check us out!

Anywhere you might otherwise use honey. Baclava? Sliced peaches (apples) on buttered toast with cottage cheese? 100% organic sweetener for Spru-Soda? Spruce Lattes have been a hit wherever the baristas have taken it upon themselves to get crafty (Silver Plume Coffee Bar!).

When I taste it, personally, the one keenest flashback memory that my tastebuds pulsate my brain to recollect is the Sweet Lemon Black Mint Tea from the Purple Onion down in my hometown in Alabama. So. GOOD!

Hope you love its little flavor ride, too, and REALLY hope you get creative with its unique flavor!
