An orchard-first sugar shack? Makes sense when you’re talking about Labonté de la Pomme, a 135-acre U-pick farm in Oka that doesn’t just lean into maple season—it gives it an apple-infused twist. Their cabane à pommes offers two options: the traditional sugar shack spread or a gourmet upgrade that pulls in their orchard’s bounty. The standout? The étagé campagnard—a stacked creation of applewood-smoked ham, bacon, cheddar, and Oka cheeses layered between waffles and drenched in syrup. They don’t skimp on the classics either, with pea soup, cretons, and omelettes served up in a convivial, bring-your-own-booze dining room. It’s a spot that shifts seamlessly from apple-picking in the fall to maple feasting in the spring, proving that a sugar shack with an orchard’s touch might just be the best kind of sugar shack.
