Maple Sugar Production

"Sugar of the land" is made from maple sap, which is harvested from sugar maple trees from the arrival of spring until early summer, in Canadian forests and particularly in the province of Quebec, its leading producer. Maple sugar from Plessisville has undergone a slow transformation in the purest Amerindian tradition. The sap flows in spring when the maple trees still have snow on their feet. Tapped to a depth of 3 cm, the trunk offers its water, which is collected in a bucket. Transported to the sugar shack, in the heart of the maple grove, this water is brought to a boil and transformed into syrup, then thickened and becomes maple sugar.

The Legend of Maple Sugar

An Indian legend tells us its story. This happened at the beginning of spring. An old Micmac woman went to collect maple sap. She put some in a pot and placed it above her teepee fire. Tired, she lay down to rest. When she woke up, she found a clear, golden, and sweet syrup.
