Érablière Escuminac

Érablière Escuminac owner, Martin Malenfant has been in the maple syrup industry since early childhood. He acquired his first sugars hack in Sainte-Rita, in 1987. After many years of work, research and innovation, Érablière Escuminac was established in 1998 on a century-old maple-growing area of 500 hectares at Escuminac in the Baie-des-Chaleurs in Gaspésie. This land has a particular feature: it also includes one of the finest mature yellow birch forests in Quebec. Martin wanted to produce a high-quality syrup while respecting the environment, working in harmony with nature. Since 1998, it implemented a strict plan of management of sugar bush and high standards of production and finally received organic certification in 2006. Today, Érablière Escuminac operates 65,000 taps dedicated to organic maple syrup and 5,000 taps for production of organic birch sap.
