Not to rush you, but spring is right around the corner. And with it, the time of year eagerly anticipated by anyone with a love of sweets, comfort food, or a combination thereof: maple sugar season! The Sherbrooke  area is full of sugar bushes, so we’ve decided to tell you about a few of our favourite sugar shacks and maple destinations. We’re as excited as you are!

Ferme Martinette

Coaticook

Ferme Martinette is one of the best maple producers in Québec, with syrup and maple products that are second to none. So much so that they’ve carved out a place for themselves on the national and international markets. Quite the feat! Although you won’t get to sit down to a meal, Ferme Martinette has a boutique where you can discover sweet perfection three generations in the making.

We love: the incredible selection of maple products (syrup, butters, sugars, candy, caramels, jellies, vinegars, and more)
