Branded Corporate Gifts
At Carman Brook Farm, we proudly offer branded gifts that make your organization stand out. Maple syrup looks stunning in glass bottles, and your logo and company branding pop against the amber background. We fill our bottles with Amber Rich Taste Vermont maple syrup—our most popular table syrup—to showcase the engraved branding beautifully.
Why Choose Our Branded Gifts?
- Versatile Bottle Sizes: Suitable for all budgets.
- Expert Engraving: Digital proofs ensure precision and accuracy.
- Attention to Detail: From sap harvesting to logo embossing.
Our local Vermont third-party engraver is equipped with specialized equipment and a sure hand, only requiring a high-quality vector file which your graphic designer should have if you don't have it readily available. If neither of those is the case, no worries, for a small fee our engraver can convert your company logo for you. The right file allows us to expertly emboss your beautiful glass maple leaves with your logo for a great gift.
We believe in providing only the best. Way before sending off your order, our family goes above and beyond to make sure everything is just right - that starts with harvesting the sap from the forest, to the expert process of boiling it down, all the way to ensuring the clarity of the embossed logo on your business's maple leaves. Rest assured that when you choose us for your corporate gifting needs, your clients, new hires, or any person is getting a truly personal gift.
Personalizing your Corporate and Client Gifts
When it comes to corporate and client gifting, personalization is key. The personalization I'm referring to doesn't mean your custom logo on a maple syrup bottle. I'm talking about a personalized touch that shows you're individually considering the people receiving your corporate gifts. It means tailoring gifts to recipients’ preferences:
- Alcohol-Free Options: Cater to those who abstain from alcohol.
- Dietary-Inclusive Gifts: Offer vegan and gluten-free products.
- Thoughtful Details: Choose wholesome, single-ingredient maple items for a distinctive touch.
Our farm offers something for everyone, so you can rest assured that your gifts will be enjoyed by all recipients regardless of their lifestyle choices or dietary restrictions. By selecting our single-ingredient maple products for your corporate gifting program, you can be sure that it is a distinctive gift that conveys how much you truly care about the people you are giving them to.
What corporate or business gifts should I give?
Corporate and business gifts are a great way to show appreciation for employees or clients.

For those looking for something more bespoke, we also have great relationships with local vendors for completely customized options designed specifically around your company’s needs. A great example of this is when one of our longtime customers wanted to switch things up from our traditional maple lineup one year, so we sourced local pasta, sauce, and olive oil to send out to their clients. Whether you need one-off items or multiple orders shipped out at once, we guarantee that they won’t be disappointed!

We take extra care when it comes to the packaging of each box - ensuring your company's logo or branding is prominently featured on the outside and no promotional material or brochures are included unless requested by you. However, for convenience and customers' benefit, we do include literature about the origin of products used in our gifts as well as storage instructions if applicable. At Carman Brook Farm, we always prioritize customer safety and peace of mind!
