BOISDALE, N.S.— A maple syrup operation in Cape Breton has burned to the ground, destroying much of the family-run business’s product for the year. Highland Gold Maple Products, which has produced maple syrup from about 8,000 trees in the Boisdale Hills for more than 15 years, said on its Facebook page that the operation was levelled by the fire Wednesday. “We are very sad to inform our customers that our operation was destroyed by fire this week,” the owners said. We wish to thank you all for your support and patronage over the years. He said the building is in a remote area with a road that was covered in deep snow, preventing them from easily accessing the site.
