About Sucrerie Blouin
Sucrerie Blouin is a sugar bush in Saint-Jean-de-l'Île-d'Orléans, on Île d'Orléans. It still collects sap in buckets hung on the maple trees and boils it over a wood fire, keeping the old way of making maple syrup alive.
It suits families and visitors who want to see how sugaring was done before tubing and modern equipment. Spring is sugaring season, the classic time to think of maple in Quebec. A bottle of syrup makes a lovely gift, and a drive around Île d'Orléans, near Quebec City, pairs well with other stops at local farms.
