| Birch Syrup is a unique syrup of the northern forests. At Uncle Berwyn’s Yukon Birch Syrup we make our birch syrup from a beautiful birch stand in central Yukon. Birch syrup is made in much the same way as maple syrup but with the sap of birch trees. There are some key differences between maple and birch. One is the amount of sap it takes to make a given quantity of syrup. It takes 40 litres sap to make one litre of maple. In a good birch stand it takes double the amount of sap, 80 litres to make one litre of syrup. A lot more work for the same amount of syrup! Another difference is the taste, Birch Syrup is a much darker, stronger and richer tasting syrup than maple. Lastly there is the difference in the nutrition of the two. Birch syrup is mostly fructose sugar, same as in fruit, while maple has sucrose, same as table sugar. Birch is also packed with nutrients. Check out the Nutrition Information on the Recipe Page to see the details. There really is no comparing the two, like comparing apples and oranges. Part of the maple syrup made in Canada directory.

| The maple syrup production process gets its start from one of nature’s true phenomena. In springtime, when the nights are below freezing, water from the soil is absorbed into the maple tree. During the day, warmer temperatures of about 40 degrees Fahrenheit create pressure that pushes the water back down to the bottom of the tree, making it easy to collect the precious maple sap. The sap is gathered over 4-6 weeks, usually between early March and late April, according to the region. This website is a resource about the production of Maple Syrup.

| Canadian Birch Company is a proudly Canadian company bringing you distinct flavours from the land we live on. As a company and as individuals, we are dedicated to the art of making gourmet birch syrup. Our birch estate above the shores of Lake Winnipeg’s south basin in Manitoba, Canada, is home to some of the world’s most pristine birch forests. Just as the Scottish Highlands produce the world’s greatest whiskies and France’s Champagne region is the only source for true Champagne, these trees produce the finest birch sap and syrup in the world. Ideal soil conditions – the result of glacial retreat in the last Ice Age – allow our trees to flourish and produce clear, pure sap. Part of the maple syrup made in Canada directory. Products:

| Our grandfather was one of the first in the area to construct a building, as well as using a new method of extracting the water with an evaporator. He advanced from wooden spills to steel spills, and collected the sap with horse and sleigh. Our father carried on the tradition. He used more modern equipment such as corrugated evaporators, lids on cans, and plastic pipe which ran from one tan house to the main camp. With our father we expanded using pipeline to all trees, vacuum pumps, reverse osmosis machines and forced air evaporators. The tradition continues with our son. He helped to develop a WORLD CLASS LINE OF NATURAL PRODUCTS that are sold world wide. Part of the maple syrup made in Canada directory. Products:

| Prestige Maple Products started in 1995 when the Lavoie family bought its first sugar bush of 2000 taps in Témiscouata, Quebec. It was the beginning of a long adventure characterized by the acquisition of several sugar bushes to reach up to now a total of 100,000 taps. Since the passion for maple is at the heart of the family business, the Lavoie family created “Sirop de l’Est” in 1998. This new branch of the enterprise managed distribution and exportation of bulk maple products reaching the equivalent of several million pounds of maple syrup per year.
