Canadian Heritage Organics maple products respect the organic
farming processes: manufactured naturally with absolutely no
artificial additives, coloring, preservatives or
chemicals.
Canadian Heritage Organics products are made in the Appalaches
region of Quebec where the mineral content of the soil is ideal for
making maple syrup. With three generations of craftsmanship, our
maple products are collected using traditional farming techniques
as well as with the Pipeline Method. This allows us to ensure that
we are making the highest quality maple syrup possible.
