I have always loved maple syrup and have sampled almost every brand available in the finest health food stores across the USA from los angeles to new york and nothing I have ever tasted compares to the flavor of the amazing syrup produced by Giizhigat Maple Products. After visiting their remote and beautiful property the past two years to get a firsthand look at the sugar making process I understand why their syrup surpasses all others. They are a First Nations family owned operation run by people who truly care about their trees and nature and are grateful for the sustenance these trees provide them. The sap is harvested in the most natural and sustainable way possible with small scale loving attention to detail at every step of the way. All the sap is boiled using a traditional wood fired method that truly brings out the decadant and rich and taste of the natural maple syrup. I can say with complete honesty that after sampling their product I will never purchase any other maple syrup ever again
I purchased an authentic First Nations dreamcatcher for my sister for Christmas. I love that it was handcrafted and even more I love Deb and Isaac’s Story that goes along with it. My sister loved it even more!
I am thankful that Deb and Isaac introduce me to their delicious and good-for-you maple syrup. Besides being yummy on Pancakes & Waffles, granola and yogurt, I enjoy the maple Sweetness in my coffee. As a chef I use them in salad dressings and sauces when a little sweetness is required. This year I was happy to one-stop-shop and everyone got First Nations owned Giizhigat Maple Syrup for Christmas.
As a First Nations family we have been studying our traditional foods diet and could not be more delighted to have The Day Family connect us to culture and healthy living through this Indigenous food source. Having maple syrup products available also assists in bringing down the cost of eating nutritiously. For us that is important, as today we see processed sugars impeding the health of our First Nations families through diabetes. Not only is the maple syrup delicious, and nutritious it's packed full of antioxidants! As a family we have replaced processed sugar with maple syrup and intend to also carry their products in our Holistic Health Store. Try it today, soo delish!! Yaw^ko Dayna Elijah and Glen McDougall
