RUNAMOK x VERMONT PUBLIC

Here at Runamok, Vermont Public is a constant in our lives — just as it is for so many Vermonters. It keeps us informed, grounded, and connected, and none of that comes free. Supporting it matters. We do, you do, and we’re proud to stand alongside you. Our partnership with Vermont Public is a reflection of our values as a company and as Vermonters: invest in what strengthens our community.

If you received a bottle of the Vermont Public x Runamok collaboration syrup, we hope you love it. It’s a small way to say thanks, and we hope it’s something you’ll share with friends and family this holiday season

About Our Partnership

Our partnership with Vermont Public comes down to shared values—curiosity, community, and a real commitment to this state. Beyond taking part in the December Drive each year, Runamok is a proud Vermont Public Corporate Circle sponsor. We support Vermont Public because it strengthens the fabric of Vermont: trusted reporting, thoughtful storytelling, and a steady voice that helps Vermonters stay informed and connected. That kind of work matters, and we’re glad to back it.

Vermont Public Sugarmaker's Cut

This year Runamok created a custom-labelled Sugarmaker's Cut as a thank you gift for Vermont Public donors during the December Pledge Drive. Sugarmaker's Cut is our flagship pure, organic Vermont Maple Syrup. Each year, when the sugaring season is at its peak, our sugarmakers set aside what they believe to be the best of the boil. Instead of blending the seasons crop together, we isolate the best tasting syrup of the season - that's what you'll find in a bottle of our Sugarmaker's Cut.

Behind the Artwork: Ray Prado

The illustration on this bottle comes from longtime Runamok collaborator Ray Prado — a Vermont artist whose work defines the look and feel of nearly every label we make. Ray’s background spans far beyond maple: he’s an accomplished illustrator and storyboard artist for major Hollywood films, bringing a cinematic eye to every project he touches. His ability to capture mood, movement, and place is exactly why his artwork has become such an essential part of the Runamok identity. We’re proud to partner with a fellow Vermonter whose creativity helps us tell our story, one bottle at a time.
