During Maple Weekend, maple producers from across New York state welcome families to their farms to experience firsthand how real, mouth-watering maple syrup and other related products are made. Tibbitts Maple will be providing tours of their facility, samples of their maple products, recipes and cooking tips. Pure New York state maple products will also be available for sale. Tap into something new this spring and make our five generation family tradition your new tradition. The festivities will begin with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony by the New Hartford Chamber of Commerce on Saturday March 19th at 10am. The public is encouraged to join chamber board members and town officials in welcoming Tibbitts Maple to its membership and in kicking off the Maple Weekend festivities. About Tibbitts Maple Tibbitts Maple has been making quality pure maple products for four generations. Although the current facility has been in use since 1984 our tradition began with the first generation, Friend Tibbitts, making maple syrup on the Tibbitts homestead located on Tibbitts Road in New Hartford, New York. In 1984, shortly after the fourth generation was born, Gordon started tapping and producing maple syrup again. He started with 11 buckets and boiled in a stockpot on a 1/2 barrel in the driveway. He and his wife Kristen made one quart and one pint that year. The fourth generation, Gordon Kyle and Kaitlin quickly became interested in producing maple syrup. In 1990 the current sugarhouse was built. Several changes and improvements happened over the years. Tubing replaced buckets and after an unfavorable year in 2003, vacuum was added in 2004. For added efficiency a steam away was added in 2007 and a reverse osmosis (RO) system was added in 2012. Most recently in 2017 a new 4 x 12 wood fired evaporator replaced the old one. The fifth generation has taken over a spot in the sugar house as well. In 2021 at the ages of 11 and 6, Gordon Konner and Kyle Leon purchased their own evaporator with money they earned from their farmstand. Many nights they can be found in the sugar house boiling right beside their father and grandfather. They produce and sell their own line of Tibbitts Bros. 5th Generation Pure Maple Syrup.

Thank you to photographer Kathy Kellogg.  The New Hartford Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce a business expansion within its membership. Chamber Member Cosmos CBD has launched a new venture called Paper and Leaf Hemp Company and opened their first location in the New Hartford Shopping Center. The new business held a grand opening celebration on July 10th and the chamber conducted a ribbon cutting ceremony.
Paper & Leaf Hemp Company was opened on May 28, 2021 by business partners Shane Carter and Dave Keller who have been in the CBD and E-Liquid industries prior to their venture into the THC industry. They got their start together with Adirondack Vapor which had a location on Campion Road. Their success with Adirondack Vapor was followed by the launch of their sister company, Cosmos CBD which allowed them to expand their product line. Cosmos CBD is located in Utica where they manufacture a variety of CBD products in their state of the art clean room facility. Currently, Paper & Leaf Help Company carries a variety of CBD, Delta 8 and Delta 10 flowers, edibles, oils, balms and even pet products. Their shop in the NH Shopping Center is modeled after a dispensary in Colorado and is equipped and ready to become one of the first Delta 9 dispensaries once New York begins granting licenses for recreational dispensaries. Paper and Leaf Hemp Company has plans for additional locations both in and outside New York State. For more information, please visit their Facebook page @PaperandLeafHempCo.  Barrettas Beauty Bar & Studios is a new, locally women-owned, Salon/ Day Spa located at 610 French Road in New Hartford. Co-owned by mom and daughter, Cassie and Nicole Barretta, whose dream of going into business together was ignited by the dissolving of Cassie’s 10 year position as a corporate salon manager due to the pandemic.
In true sink-or-swim fashion and based on the belief that when one door closes, another does in fact open, the two put their vision out into the universe and set forth to turn their dream into reality. The process began in the beginning of November 2020 and quickly transformed into a functional workspace by the end of December with the help of many. By January 1st 2021 the business was officially open! Cassie and Nicole wanted to create an atmosphere that blended Cassie’s memories of growing up out west with Nicole’s memories of living in the Adirondack Park. From the beam and branch light fixtures to the live Edge Wood and greenery throughout, anyone who has entered their space has described it as “a vibe”. They wanted to make it feel different, and for people to feel special when they are there. Barrettas offers a wide range of services from everything hair, to a variety of pedicures and manicures, face/body waxing, eyelash extensions, wedding & special event hair and makeup, and more. Their team of fully Licensed Cosmetologists are available for all of your beauty needs all in one calm, clean, and relaxing environment! Cassie and Nicole have supported many local businesses throughout the building of their business and hope to carry more locally-made or hand-crafted sustainable goods in their salon’s store. They look forward to being chamber members, and providing for our growing community and surrounding areas, clients, family and friends for years to come! |
