Hi!
I’m wondering if you are the person who makes a wonderful salad dressing simply called “Maple Dressing.”
I’m addicted to it and would love to purchase some!
I bought it at Hildene in Manchester, VT, but they do not have it at the moment. Actually, the person I spoke with there hasn’t seen it in some time.
Thank you so much.
