When is the best time to enjoy a meal in a cabane sucre (sugar shack)?
Spring is the best time to savour a traditional meal in a cabane sucre or “sugar shack.” This is because the maple sap from which the syrup and other maple products are made is harvested at the first thaw—usually around March. Of course, some sugar shacks stay open to the public all year long; and maple products are readily available in supermarkets and at fine grocers.
