LUDLOW, Vt. - For owners of the kind of mom-and-pop business that has been getting crushed in the recession, Ann and Doug Rose have had a pretty good year.
A steady stream of customers has been snapping up sweets from the shelves of Green Mountain Sugar House, their red-roofed shop at the foot of the Okemo Mountain ski area. Maple sugar, maple nut brittle, maple fudge, leaf-shaped maple candies, and big plastic jugs of syrup - all of it has been selling surprisingly well.
