My favorite of the local secret factory outlets has to be Stonewall Kitchens in Rochester on Rte 125. Stonewall Kitchens is the best because they label all the products to let you know exactly why it didn't make to the regular store or catalog. What makes it a "factory second" - it could be a Labeling Issue; Too Thin; Too Thick; Too Much Fruit; Too Little Fruit; Separated - Needs to be stirred; or Extra Cream. Now when you are buying real maple syrup for $5.50 instead of $10.95 why complain about a crooked label. You can also sample and buy the complete line of specialty food products. Stonewall Kitchens started at the local Farmer's Market in 1991 with exquisite chutneys and jams.
Some of the deals I saw this week included
- Lemon Curd - Too Thin - Reg. $6.00 Factory Outlet $3.00
- Maine Maple Syrup - Crooked Label - Reg. $19.95 Factory Outlet $5.50
- Strawberry Preserves - Texture a little Thinner - Reg. $5.50 Factory Outlet $1.48
- Carmel Butterscotch Sauce - Extra Cream - Reg. $6.00 Factory Outlet $3.00
- Peach Mango Hot Sauce - Thinner than usual - Reg. $6.50 Factory Outlet $3.25
- Wild Maine Blueberry Syrup - Loose Caps - Reg. $6.50 Factory Outlet $3.25
- Three Citrus Marmalade - Thicker than usual - Reg. $7.50 Factory Outlet $1.98
