What started as a forgotten sugar shack from the 1940s has turned into a 19,000-tap permaculture maple farm with a serious love for tradition. Érablière St-Henri does more than just syrup—it raises free-range pigs on grains and vegetables, keeps folk music alive on weekends, and serves a no-shortcuts, all-you-can-eat feast of Quebec staples. The menu sticks to the classics—pea soup, tourtière, maple-glazed everything—but accommodates gluten-free, vegetarian, and other dietary needs. Horse-drawn sleigh rides and hiking trails through Mont Rigaud’s forests make it as much about the setting as the meal, with the chance to spot deer if you’re lucky. If you’re after a sugar shack that blends deep-rooted history with a commitment to sustainability, this is the one.
