In the home province of maple, the question is which farm. Maple Terroir is single-origin from one family farm in Quebec's Appalachian Mountains, shipped daily across Montreal and the Greater Montreal Area.
Quebec produces 90 percent of Canada's maple syrup and more than 70 percent of the world's supply. Montrealers walking through a grocery aisle see dozens of maple brands, and most of them are blended supply chain from a long list of farms across the province. Maple Terroir is different. One farm, one address, one harvest record. Locals who care about provenance browse maple at Marche Jean-Talon and Atwater Market for the same reason: you want to know who tapped the tree.
The full range is available online direct from the producer, plus at Premiere Moisson bakeries, select Provigo and Metro grocery stores, and specialty maple shops like Delices Erable et CIE on rue St-Paul Est. Orders ship from the Quebec farm direct to Montreal addresses.
Every bottle single-origin from one Quebec family farm. All four Grade A classifications, sized from 50 mL travel bottles to 1 L jugs.
Stocked across the same Montreal grocery and gift retailers locals already use. Availability by store varies, so the online shop is the surest bet for the full range.
Also at independent Quebec specialty shops including Delices Erable et CIE, Premiere Moisson bakeries, and Marche Jean-Talon vendors.

The honest case for single-farm sourcing inside the province that makes most of the world supply.
Quebec produces roughly 14.3 million gallons of maple syrup annually. That accounts for about 70 percent of global production and 90 percent of Canada's. The PPAQ (Producteurs et Productrices Acéricoles du Québec) oversees grading, pricing, and the strategic reserve, which means even the entry-level grocery-aisle blend in Montreal meets a baseline of quality that does not exist in most other producing regions. Cabane à sucre season in March and April is a near-civic event. Most Montrealers can name a sugarbush their family has visited.
The downside of living in the maple capital is that the shelves are saturated. Walk into any Provigo, Metro, or IGA and there are 8 to 15 brands in the maple aisle. Most are blended from many farms across the province, pooled through the PPAQ reserve, then bottled by a packing operation that does not own a single sugar tree. The label might list a producer's name on the front, but the syrup inside is statistically averaged from dozens of sources. That is fine for most everyday cooking. It is not what serious Quebec cooks reach for when the maple is the point of the dish.
Maple Terroir is the other model. One family in the Appalachian foothills, the same sugarbush since 1978, every bottle traceable to a specific harvest week on a specific stand of trees. Triple organic certification (Ecocert, Canada Organic, USDA Organic) verified annually by three separate bodies. Same Appalachian mountain range that runs into Vermont's premium producers, with the stricter Canadian organic stack on top. For Montrealers who want a Quebec maple syrup the way Burgundy collectors want a single-domain Pinot, this is what the category looks like at the top.
Maple Terroir is available at Premiere Moisson bakeries, select Provigo and Metro grocery stores, Marche Jean-Talon vendors, and specialty maple shops like Delices Erable et CIE on rue St-Paul Est. The full product range is available online at mapleterroir.com, shipped direct from the Quebec family farm to Montreal.
Yes. Every bottle is harvested and bottled on one family farm in Quebec's Appalachian Mountains, in operation since 1978 and run by the Lytton family. The syrup is 100 percent single-origin Quebec product, with no blending across producers.
Maple quality varies by farm, not by brand. The best Quebec maple syrup is single-origin from one farm with verifiable certification. Maple Terroir is single-origin from one family farm in the Quebec Appalachians and holds all three organic certifications: Ecocert, Canada Organic, and USDA Organic. No other Canadian maple producer carries all three at once.
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 is available online and at select Montreal retailers. Sizes range from 50 mL travel bottles to 1 L jugs.
Most Quebec maple syrup on grocery shelves is blended supply chain from many farms across the province. Maple Terroir is single-origin from one family farm, triple-certified organic (Ecocert, Canada Organic, USDA Organic), and the only Canadian maple producer holding all three certifications at once.
