Welcome To Rogotzke's Simple Gifts Website

Maple Syrup -

We have a beautiful maple forest just outside of Duluth, Minnesota. Currently we have 4600 taps and continue to expand as the weather permits. Check out our Maple Syrup page to learn about the sap process which generally runs from mid-March to mid-April. It must freeze over night and thaw during the day to be optimal for drawing the sap out of the trees. The weather cooperated this year and we had a great season. Order your syrup online or give us a call.

Syrup from the 2006 season
You are welcome to visit us to see the maple syrup process from start to finish. We give hour long tours during maple season which include learning to tap a maple tree, viewing how the sap flows through lines to converge into one tank, and turning sap into syrup in the Sugar Shack. Give us a call at 1-218-525-5474 to schedule your tour.

Our award winning 100% pure maple syrup took 1st place in the 2006 Minnesota State Fair. We also won first place in 2003 and second place in 2005. Our syrup is available in a variety of sizes, just check out our ordering page. We also have maple butter, which 100% pure maple syrup boiled, chilled, then churned into a creamy consistency. It is fantastic on toast, muffins, pancakes, or whatever you can think of.

Wild Alaska Salmon -

We have commercially fished salmon in Bristol Bay, Alaska, for the past 25 years. We mainly fish for King and Sockeye salmon, which run from early June to the end of July.

Are you wondering why there is so much discussion on Wild Alaska Salmon vs. Farm Raised Salmon? You may have recently heard a lot about farm raised salmon and the toxins they contain. They have significantly higher PCB levels because they are fed meal that contains ground-up fish tainted with contaminants. did you know that they are also artifically colored?

Wild Alaska Salmon from Bristol Bay, Alaska, come from one of the last pristine ecological habitats on earth. Consequently the absence of pollutants and toxins enable the salmon to be a rich source of nutrition, as nature intended. Wild Alaska Salmon provides vitamins and minerals, as well as being rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. For more information, check out our Alaska Salmon page and place your order today.
