For as long as I can remember, our annual visit to the sugar shack marks for me the arrival of the best weather of the year. It seems like all of our senses are being invited out of winter to celebrate nature coming back to life! The scent of wood fires and comforting dishes, the dazzling sun which reflects on the snow to gild our faces in search of light, the sound of the accordion, spoons or traditional music which bewitches our sleeping bodies and obviously the exquisite sweetness of our liquid gold that delights the palate!

Spring is sugar time. Here, in Chaudière-Appalaches, being the largest maple syrup producing region not only in Quebec, but in the world, we can say that maple sap runs through our veins! It's always fun to live the experience in your favorite sugar shack, but did you know that it's also possible to continue one of the favorite traditions of Quebecers and share a good meal of sugaring off, in the comfort of our home!

The members of the Tardif family can boast of having a direct lineage with one of the pioneers of maple syrup in Quebec. Indeed, their ancestor, Olivier LeTardif, would have been mandated by none other than Samuel de Champlain to establish contact with the Amerindians. It was these latter who passed on their knowledge of harvesting and processing maple water to him.
