Real Canadian maple syrup in Calgary, shipped direct from a Vancouver facility. Alberta has no commercial maple syrup orchards, so every bottle in your local grocery store traveled to get there. We ship faster and fresher than most.
Alberta produces no commercial maple syrup. The sugar maple trees that produce the sap do not grow here in commercial quantities, so every bottle of maple syrup on a Calgary shelf shipped in from Quebec or Ontario, often through a multi-week grocery supply chain. Maple Terroir takes a shorter path. We ship direct to Calgary addresses from a Vancouver distribution facility, which is closer than the Quebec-origin route most grocery brands take, and the syrup arrives faster and fresher than what sits on a refrigerated truck for two weeks.
Calgary shoppers can pick the syrup up at Real Canadian Superstore, Costco, Fresh & Local Farm Store (voted Best Grocery Store in Calgary four years running), and Calgary Duty Free locations. The full range is online at mapleterroir.com with direct-to-door shipping, and that is the freshest option of all.

A short logistics piece on why provenance matters more in Alberta than in any other Canadian province.
Sugar maple does not grow in Alberta in commercial quantities. The combination of dry chinook winters, low snowpack, and a freeze-thaw cycle that runs in the wrong order for sap flow keeps the tree out of the province's commercial inventory. Every bottle of maple syrup on a Calgary grocery shelf was shipped in. There are no Alberta sugarbushes to drive to, no provincial reserve, no local cabane à sucre. The category is 100 percent import.
The typical supply chain runs Quebec to a central Canadian distribution center in Toronto or Mississauga, then west by truck to Calgary. Total distance, depending on the producer: about 3,500 km. Total time on the road and in warehouses: often four to six weeks from packing to shelf. Maple syrup is shelf-stable and does not technically go bad, but it does develop subtle off-notes with prolonged warm storage, especially in unconditioned cross-country truck routes during summer months. Most Calgary shoppers never notice because they have no fresher reference point to compare it to.
Maple Terroir runs its Canadian distribution out of Vancouver, which sits roughly 1,000 km from Calgary by road. Orders ship Canada Post Expedited from the Vancouver warehouse, arrive at Calgary addresses in 2 to 3 business days, and skip the entire eastern distribution route most grocery brands use. For the price difference between a grocery-aisle blend and a single-origin organic Quebec syrup, Calgary customers pick up a fresher product on a shorter supply chain, and order direct rather than waiting for a retailer to restock. None of which is available from a producer based in Quebec who routes through Toronto first.
Calgary shoppers can find Maple Terroir at Real Canadian Superstore, Costco, Fresh & Local Farm Store, and Calgary Duty Free locations across the city. The full product range is available online at mapleterroir.com, shipped direct from a Vancouver distribution facility.
No. Alberta does not have commercial maple syrup orchards, because the sugar maple trees that produce the sap do not grow in the province in commercial quantities. The Lytton family harvests and bottles the syrup in Quebec at the family farm in the Appalachian Mountains, then ships it to Calgary addresses from a Vancouver distribution facility.
Maple Terroir ships to Calgary in two to three business days via Canada Post from the Vancouver distribution facility. Canadian orders over $99 CAD ship free, including all Calgary delivery addresses.
Maple Terroir offers all four Grade A classifications from the same Quebec farm: Golden (delicate, harvested earliest), Amber (rich, the most versatile), Dark (robust, deeper colour), and Very Dark (strong, harvested latest). The full range ships to Calgary online, with sizes from 50 mL travel bottles to 1 L jugs.
Every bottle of maple syrup on a Calgary shelf was shipped from a producing province, almost always Quebec or Ontario with a small share from Atlantic farms. Calgary shoppers pay the shipping cost and the grocery markup on top of the wholesale price. Buying direct from the producer at mapleterroir.com often beats grocery-store prices on the same product, because the team cuts the retail middlemen out of the chain.
