Virtual Potluck and Coombs Family Farms

Every year around this time, the weather starts warming up and Maple trees start to release their sap. When I lived in Montreal I loved this time of year when sugar shacks would start popping up all around the countryside. These little shacks would create wonderful meals centered around the wonderful maple syrup. Every dish had some kind of maple product in it and we even drank maple water; the pure sap straight from the tree.


Today the Virtual Potluck group is creating our own version of a Sugar Shack! We've created a whole feast of dishes featuring the amazing maple products from Coombs Family Farms. The Coombs family has been following a sustainable approach for Seven Generations and over 300 years. They create 100% pure organic maple syrup in various grades, pure organic maple sugar, pure maple candies, and pancake mixes. All of their maple products are naturally gluten free and made without artificial flavors, preservatives, or thickeners. Their organic maple syrup and our organic maple sugar are certified by Quality Assurance International (QAI) and carry the USDA organic seal. They are also certified kosher by Kof K.

Check out the cool video here from their page to learn more about the long history and great products they have.
