About Us

About Us

My husband and I are the proud owners of Little Ouest Maple Taps, founded in 2022. We grew up in Saint-Quentin and Kedgwick, New Brunswick. Saint-Quentin is known as the maple capital of Atlantic Canada, and maple syrup has a long history in our province. Today, New Brunswick is the second-largest maple syrup producer in Canada (and third in the world).

We grew up with maple syrup—it was always on our kitchen table and became a staple in our meals. Let’s just say, it’s something we can’t live without. In 2006, we moved to Alberta for a job opportunity, but in Alberta, there are no maple trees. As a result, it’s always been a challenge to find non-industrialized maple syrup. What you typically find in the grocery store is golden maple syrup, but we’ve always preferred the darker maple syrup with a rich, caramelized flavor.

When I think of maple syrup, it brings back so many happy family memories. My grandpa and his brother owned a small sugar shack, and I knew that every spring, during ‘temps des sucres,’ I’d spend time with family helping to collect maple water and produce maple syrup—and of course, enjoy some ‘Tire d’érable’ (maple taffy). I’ve always dreamed of having my own sugar shack, so my kids could experience those same family rituals and memories.

We are deeply passionate about our maple syrup products and our small, family-oriented business. When you try our syrup, you’ll experience a flavor that’s different from what you’d find at the grocery store. We use authentic, old-fashioned slow wood burning, which gives us an amazing, dark, and robust caramelized flavor. We’ve also introduced a new product: a delicious smoky maple syrup that pairs wonderfully with smoked meats or can be added to your hard liquor as a flavor enhancer. Please note that we only have a limited supply of this product.

We’re excited for you to enjoy our products, and we trust our maple syrup will become a new tradition for your family.

The name ‘Little Ouest Maple Taps’ comes from the location of our sugar shack, back home in our small French community of Kedgwick. One of the areas there is called ‘Petit Ouest,’ which means ‘Little West.’ We decided to use the name in both French and English: ‘Little Ouest’ (where ‘Little’ is English for ‘Petit’ and ‘Ouest’ is French for ‘West’). The ‘Maple Taps’ part is self-explanatory—’taps’ refers to the process of collecting sap from the maple trees.

Have to Say

We bought a 1L bottle thinking this would last us awhile, boy were we wrong! This maple syrup is like nothing else I’ve ever tasted. It’s smooth with just the right amount of sweetness, and a taste that would never be found in a syrup from the store. I like that it’s organic with no additives, and supporting a family business.

I had a chance to sample different flavours at the local farmers market. Amazingly smooth with a hint of smoke from the regular bottle due to the woodfired process they use. The ‘smoked’ bottle however kicked it up a notch and was my favorite! I now often find myself doing shots of this between pancake day! Wonderful to drizzle over breakfast sausages too. A must have in any fridge.

“I have tried Ouest Maple TAPS and I must say, I am in love with the quality of it. The traditional way of boiling the syrup on fire adds a nuance that makes it even smoother. My kids are happy with what they are eating, and so am I, knowing it is made with all-natural ingredients and no unnecessary processed sugar that could lead to health issues like diabetes. I am so glad I found this and I highly recommend all mothers to keep a stock in their cabinets!”

“When I first ordered maple syrup from this company, I was skeptical that it would be as organic as they claimed. However, after trying it, I can confirm that this brand is truly free of colorings, artificial flavors, and is not diluted with cane sugar or corn syrup. Now, I can enjoy the delicious taste of real maple syrup without any doubts.”

Andrew Johnson

“Ouest Maple TAPS is amazing! I wish I had found them sooner. Their maple syrup is of the highest quality and blends perfectly with pancakes. It’s also great to drizzle over ice cream or add to baked beans. My husband and I love maple syrup, and we are so happy to have found this company.”
