sugar shacks
Maple boiling houses
Sugar shacks are small buildings where maple sap is boiled down into syrup, found throughout northeastern North America's maple-producing regions.
The term extends to rustic restaurants or seasonal establishments serving maple products: We stopped at a sugar shack for pancakes during sugaring season.
In Quebec, the French equivalent *cabane à sucre* names a cultural tradition combining maple syrup production with communal meals.
