Welcome to Nebraska Knoll Sugar Farm

Each spring since 1980 we, the Coty family, have tapped sugar maple trees in the foothills of Mt. Mansfield. The mountainside sugarbush slopes up from Nebraska Valley in Stowe, Vermont, six miles from the village and part of the scenic view from Trapp Meadow.

Our retail room features maple products for sale, tasting samples, and a display of photos and artifacts. You’ll walk through a door into the evaporator room where we boil the sap. Next door is the 40-cord woodshed.

*****PLEASE NOTE: Google falsely says that Falls Brook Lane is closed until April. It is OPEN. All-wheel drive is recommended during winter months.*****

WHAT’S HAPPENING AS OF MONDAY, MARCH 2nd: The crew completed tapping the maple trees last week. It’s a matter now of waiting for a major thaw to warm up the trees and spark a sap run. Since it has been so cold for so long it could take quite a warm spell, meaning above-freezing nights as well as days, to get sugar season going.

AND…it appears from the forecast that we will get that major thaw this week.
*****WE WILL REPLACE REGULAR HOURS with VISITORS’ BOILING HOURS. These are those hours when visitors are welcome to come and watch sap-boiling in the sugarhouse. They will change day-to-day. Often they are mid-to-late afternoon hours.

*****Visit our Blog to glimpse the boundless perspectives on Nebraska Knoll maple sugaring.*****

Maple sugaring comes with the territory here in northern Vermont. The Nebraska Knoll "terroir" - the unique quality of our syrup - derives from the soil, the weather on the knoll, and the blend of traditional and modern practices particular to the Coty style of sugarmaking.
