Buckle up, because we\u2019re about to talk about something so precious and serious it\u2019s inspired an \u201cOcean\u2019s 8\u201d-level heist and brings about lawsuits if you get the name a fraction wrong. We\u2019re talking, of course, about maple syrup. March happens to be Maple Month (but you already knew that, right?), which is why we\u2019re writing about that beautiful brown elixir and where to find it.<\/p>\n

Canada produces roughly 80 percent of the world\u2019s maple syrup. Unsurprisingly, there are a ton of festivals, restaurants, and bars that make it a point to honour this sweet substance. Here are the best places to enjoy maple syrup throughout Canada.<\/p>\n

Fulton\u2019s Pancake House & Sugar Bush<\/h3>\n

Pakenham, ON<\/em><\/p>\n

For 170 years and several generations, the Fultons have been tapping maple trees. At this point, the family has been around almost as long as the ancient trees themselves. When you visit Fulton\u2019s Pancake House & Sugar Bush<\/strong>, you can snowshoe, hike, and indulge in treats like maple taffy and maple cotton candy. And why stop at edible souvenirs? You can also purchase maple sugar scrubs, salts, and shea butter. Just remember to take some maple cheesecake to go, as well.<\/p>\n

Shaw\u2019s Catering <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Oro-Medonte, ON<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Via Yelp\/Katherine P. <\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Shaw\u2019s Catering<\/strong> may be better known for their roasted pork than maple syrup, but whoever said you can\u2019t be a genius at two things at once? The farm produced their first batch of maple syrup back in 1904, which used the old iron pot method. Techniques have changed through the decades, but not the integrity of the product. You can get a big serving of this sweet magical syrup when you stop into their pancake house. Aside from the usual goodies, you can also pick up maple butter tarts, tea biscuits with a maple spread, and maple cinnamon buns.<\/p>\n

Beauceron de l’\u00c9rable Festival<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Saint-Georges, Quebec<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Via Flickr via elPadawan<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It\u2019s time to rage at Beauceron de l\u2019\u00c9rable<\/strong>! Over 5,000 people attend this maple fest every season. Yes, you can find all the delicious treats your tummy will thank you for in advance, but you can also participate in games, watch live music and comedy acts, and even interact with mascots.<\/p>\n

Mill Street Brewery<\/h3>\n

Toronto, Ontario<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Via Yelp\/Kevin W.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Do you love family-owned maple syrup farms? So does Mill Street Brewery<\/strong>. Their special Madawaska Maple Ale is a blend of Irish red ale and syrup from a family-run producer in Combermere, Ontario. It\u2019s a brew that has nutty flavour, along with hints of sweetness at its core. Day drinking is totally OK when it\u2019s maple syrup!<\/p>\n

Stanley\u2019s Olde Maple Lane Farm<\/h3>\n

Edwards, ON<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking for something to do with the whole family? Stanley\u2019s Olde Maple Lane Farm<\/strong> has you covered come winter. Admission is free and includes a petting farm, education centre, and a play area for the kids. For a little extra pocket change, you can also indulge in the time-honoured tradition of making maple taffy on the snow. If you want to take some treats with you, just stop into the shop for goodies like maple red pepper jelly and maple candied cashews.<\/p>\n

Wheelers Maple<\/h3>\n

McDonalds Corners, ON<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Via Yelp\/Julie M.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Wheelers aren\u2019t just syrup makers, they\u2019re syrup historians. In fact, Vernon Wheeler has the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of maple syrup artifacts. This is why they opened the Maple Heritage Museum<\/strong>, where you can check out antique tools and parts used in the maple syrup process. Of course, you can certainly sample the sweet stuff while you\u2019re here, too. Their pancake house offers organic maple syrup, along with homemade maple sausages.<\/p>\n

Garrison Brewing<\/h3>\n

Halifax, NS<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Via Yelp\/Kris U.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Can\u2019t get enough of that delicious stuff on your pancakes? How about drinking it in a cold ale? If you don\u2019t believe us, you clearly have never tried the Sugar Moon Maple from Garrison Brewing Co<\/strong>. It\u2019s made with authentic maple syrup from Nova Scotia, and has a 6.3 alcohol percentage for a nice loopy feeling when you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n

Gilbertson\u2019s Maple Products<\/h3>\n

Richards Landing, ON<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s something to be said about passing down wisdom through the generations, especially if it results in something as tasty as maple syrup. Gilbertson\u2019s Maple Products<\/strong> has been making syrup since 1936 and four generations later, is one of the largest producers of maple syrup in Ontario. During a visit to headquarters, you can check out the syrup-making operation in person and then fill up at the pancake house. Yes, you can get the usual pancakes and French toast swimming in the good stuff, but you can also have the grilled cheese with maple mustard, or maple baked beans as a side dish.<\/p>\n

Granville Island Brewing<\/h3>\n

Vancouver, BC<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Via Yelp\/David C. <\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For summertime suds, Granville Island Brewing<\/strong> knows the best drink to pair with BBQ and corn on the cob: Maple Shack Cream Ale. This caramel malt includes hints of maple syrup for a smooth finish. And, per the brewery, you can also add it to chili for an extra kick at your potluck.<\/p>\n

Fortune Farms<\/h3>\n

Almonte, ON<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Fortune Farms<\/strong> goes back five generations. Five! The first few generations packed syrup in tin cans and tapped about 100 trees. These days, the family taps around 7,000 trees and uses advanced technology to eliminate water from the sap. If you visit the farm during production season, you can watch the sap get boiled and kettled and then taste the difference between traditional and more modern methods of syrup-making. Between tastings, you can go for a walk along any of the three trails surrounding the property to burn off those calories. Before you go, you\u2019ll want to bring home a number of their souvenirs, like the maple fudge, maple vinegar, and maple sugar candy.<\/p>\n

There you have it! The top places to get that delicious sweet stuff on your pancakes, in your beer, or on a taffy stick. Happy travels!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
