Beatrice here is like many people across the Eastern Townships right now, reaping the sticky rewards of what the owners of the Érablière Pelletier-Bélanger in Hatley Township yesterday called an “excellent” sugaring season. According to the local maple producers, the temperature range so far this spring has been perfect for keeping the sap running at an even rate and ensuring consistent production of the province’s favourite tasty treats. If things continue in this way, they added, 2018 offers the promise of a great season overall by the time sugaring comes to a close.
