Sugar Shack Maple Candy

Big Sky Brands

Sugar Shack Maple Candy is made with pure and natural maple sugar from the deep woods of Eastern Canada. Mature maple trees are tapped during the fleeting four to six week spring thaw, when freezing nights and warm sunny days induce the slow flow of sweet maple sap. Once boiled down and caramelized, sixty ounces of raw maple sap produce just one ounce of our treasured maple sugar. We’re proud to carry on this tradition with our new Sugar Shack Maple Candy.

Stories and Starlight Zine

Capsule Community

Using the backdrop and themes of winter, night and starlight, the zine is compiled of words, poetry, art and photography, featuring artists from our community, spanning all across North America. The idea for a community-based Zine was born out of the intersection of art, nature and community. We loved toying with the concept of leveraging our platform as a space to create and inspire, for our own unique voices and ethos, but also for our community. There are so many talented writers, thinkers, artists and storytellers in our communities with little, not enough or no access to platforms to tell their stories and share their ideas and work. The result of the zine is a lasting art collective that weaves together stories of winter and night, told through the vantage point of various mediums of artistic expression and prose.
