3. Maple Syrup Is Seasonal
The maple syrup season is between late February to early April. The quality of the product decreases when the trees start to bloom. Farmers are concerned about the trees’ ability to produce more after winters with cold temperatures and seasons of low snowfall. It’s all about timing. If you tap trees too early, you will lose syrup volume.
The maple syrup is organic and pure. Farmers follow sustainable farming methods that are based on the guidelines of the FQMSP (Quebec) and Canadian laws that regulate agricultural activities. They tap the trees at different locations each year to maintain the health of sugar trees and ensure the optimal growth of the groves.
Loi sur la protection du Territoire et des activités agricoles (Preservation of Agricultural Land and Agricultural Activities Act) is a Canadian law that protects agricultural zones and prevents cutting down an entire grove. The law ensures the trees are given time to recover after any harvesting activity.
