This spring was Alain Gauthier's 40 th as a maple producer. That means he has borne full witness to the evolution of the industry but, more importantly, he took part in it, making him one of the great builders of what it is today.
When Alain Gauthier and his brothers started their business in the early 1980s, maple production was obviously not what it is today. He joined the maple movement to improve conditions for producers. But he had no idea that he would find himself in the middle of momentous battles and that he would contribute to the signing of the joint plan.
It's a few kilometres from Chesterville to Saint-Christophe d'Arthabaska, then some 50 kilometres more to Saint-Pierre-Baptiste in the Centre-du-Québec region. This is the path Dany Fortier takes most days as he tends to his maple operation. "Sure, it'd be nice to have it all in one stand, but you don't always get what you want," says Dany, with determination.

Go to the rural municipality of Hérouxville and you will find the maple operation called Parcelles de soleil, roughly translated as "Place in the Sun." It was there, in 1995, that two new graduates of the agriculture school in Saint-Hyacinthe, Éric Bouchard and Isabelle Thiffeault, bought his grandfather's land. Their dream was to keep up the family farming tradition, including 1,000 maple taps. "At the beginning, we wanted to grow vegetables and did that for many years. But, with 6 kids, we decided to go all in on maple production and processing."
