CBC CanadaHow a slow start to spring is affecting maple syrup production in Quebec
An ideal sugaring-off season usually runs from late February to late April in Quebec but with the cold, wintry weather lingering, maple syrup production has been affected. Producers, however, are still hopeful they’ll hit a sweet spot and have a good 2026 season

IsaacGot everything finished and bottled. Small one, just shy of 7 gallons, but pushes us just over 56 gallons of syrup. Best season ever now by 9 gallons. This late season syrup is dark, but oh so good. Hoping last night's freeze gives us one last good run before the buds ruin it. #maplesyrup
John Francis 🇨🇦🦫🍁💪⬆️3rd burner going on the syrup factory. 2 large kettles working on fresh sap, 1 small finishing concentrated sap that is nearly syrup.
FrameToFrameNatureThe maple sap is flowing in our trees, and we have tapped some trees and are looking forward to tasting our own maple syrup. But this red squirrel decided not to wait, and it is enjoying the sweetness of spring. #MapleSyrupSeason #Canada #Ontario #Spring #maplesyrup
2nd boil started. Yesterday and today were warmer than forecast and the sap ran strong. More than I have room for, so I will boil furiously and collect the rest in the morning. #maplesyrup
I will buy another 120L bucket for more storage buffer. And a burner, since my new pan will not fit on the BBQ...and I can't pull a wagon with 300kg offroad to the BBQ in the back.
And propane. Always propane.
Edit - removed that TPB vid because the guy who plays Bubbles is a greasy bastard.
JKRetroTechI wish you all could smell what I'm smelling right now. It's amazing. #maplesyrup
After much boiling, minutes from being finished syrup. About 7.5L, despite yesterday's sap disaster. #canada #maplesyrup #ottawa.
More sap to collect in the coming days & weeks!
