Pocono Mountain Farms

Also known as: Pocono Mountain Maple

Pennsylvania's largest organic maple-syrup operation, based in Newfoundland, Pennsylvania (Wayne County), tapping roughly 24,000 sugar maples per season and producing certified-organic, kosher, small-batch maple syrup at substantial commercial scale. The operation works the upper end of the maple-production scale spectrum while maintaining organic certification — a notable demonstration that organic-certified maple production can scale beyond the small-family-bush range without compromising the certification.

What they do

  • Organic, kosher maple syrup — small-batch production from approximately 24,000 [[sugar-maple|sugar maple]] taps per season
  • Sugar shack on-property — boiling and finishing happens on the farm, not subcontracted
  • Multiple flavor lines — straight maple plus seasonal infusion lines (bourbon barrel-aged, [[vanilla|vanilla]], smoked)
  • Direct + retail distribution — farm direct sales, regional retail, and shipping through poconomtnmaple.com

Why it matters

24,000 taps is a significant operation by maple-industry standards — meaningfully larger than the typical family bush, but still small relative to the 100,000+ tap operations in Vermont and Quebec. Maintaining organic certification at this scale requires careful sugar-bush management, no synthetic inputs, and certified processing facilities. PA’s organic-maple production is a small fraction of the state’s overall maple output; Pocono Mountain Farms is the most-visible scaled-organic operation.

For [[directory|the directory]]:

  • Bioregion’s largest single maple operation, organic-certified
  • Scaled-organic demonstration — proof that organic maple can work above the family-bush scale
  • Working forest economic anchor — the operation’s 24,000 taps imply hundreds of acres of stewarded [[maple-sugarbush|sugar bush]]
