Maple Syrup T-shirt Giveaway 1 By The Mohawk Valley Trading Company, Sponsored By Crooked Brook, Contest Ends Midnight Est 05/31/12

New York, NY -- The Mohawk Valley Trading Company is holding Maple Syrup T-Shirt Giveaway 1 on their LocalHarvest blog. The giveaway is sponsored by Crooked Brook and ends midnight (Eastern Standard Time) 05/31/12.

This prize is a white, Gildan, G200 6.1 oz. Ultra Cotton T-Shirt made in 100% preshrunk cotton, taped shoulder-to-shoulder with a seamless collar and double-needle stitching throughout and the image of the Mohawk Valley Trading Company maple syrup label and URL printed on the back.

Although the most popular method of printing t-shirts is screen printing, Crooked Brook t-shirts are printed using Direct to Garment Printing (digital garment printing or DTG) which is the process of using inkjet printers to print an image directly onto t-shirts without the use of screens like with screen printing, which requires a lot of setup e.g., creating screens for each color. In addition, DTG printing uses eco-friendly, water soluble ink, unlike some screen printing methods that layer Plastisol (a suspension of PVC particles in a plasticizer) on top of the t-shirt. The only requirement for DTG printing is for the image to be high resolution, resulting in photograph quality printing with no setup fee or minimums for custom t-shirts.

The winner will be chosen randomly, from those who post a comment on the Mohawk Valley Trading Company LocalHarvest blog with an answer to this question; How do you like to use maple syrup?

About Mohawk Valley Trading Company Maple Syrup

The Mohawk Valley Trading Company (MVTC) offers the highest quality organic and unprocessed natural products they can produce. Their raw honey and maple syrup is used and endorsed by two of by the world's most recognized chefs: Bobby Flay recommends the maple syrup and Tom Colicchio recommends the honey. Not only does Tom say their honey is one of his "Personal Pantry Essentials" and "Favorite Gifts" but he also keeps "a jar of the stuff on my desk at all times."

Their maple syrup is made primarily from sugar maple sap. Sugar maple sap is preferred for maple syrup production because it has an average sugar content of two percent. Sap from other maple species is usually lower in sugar content, and about twice as much is needed to produce the same amount of finished syrup.
