If you are vegan, vegetarian, or (like me) an omnivore who loves good vegan and vegetarian food, this welcoming farm slightly outside of Mont Tremblant is a delightful place to spend some time during the sugaring season — and to sample an alternative take on a traditional Quebecois sugar shack family-style meal. Our host Simone is a renaissance man: farmer, chef, father, and builder, and his love of the vegan and organic lifestyle shines through the whole experience. You can tour the many maple trees on the property and even taste the delicious maple taffy that results from pouring the boiled rendered sap over the snow until it reaches chewy, gooey goodness.
Simone is also very well-traveled and at home in either English or French — and he is full of fascinating conversation as you enjoy your breakfast, lunch, or dinner meal. We rented a car and drove up from Montreal for the day, but it’s also an easy and quick drive from the Mont Tremblant slopes if you are up for a skiing vacation.
