Pocono Mountain Maple: Nicole Bentler

As the founder of Pocono Mountain Maple, a 450-acre certified organic maple farm located in the heart of Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, Nicole has always had a deep appreciation for nature. Under her direction, the farm produces Pocono Maple Water, a naturally hydrating, subtly sweet water tapped fresh each spring from organic maple trees.  In addition to its flagship product, the property also offers the region’s only exclusive family nature retreat, blending wellness, sustainability, and outdoor connection in one unique destination.   A Pocono native, Bentler returned to the region after more than a decade working in the health and wellness space. Driven by a vision to revive and reimagine a historic maple farm, she transformed it into a source of both nourishment and nature-based experience. Her work with traditional syrup and sap led to the discovery of maple water’s deeper potential—a rare, mineral-rich drink high in manganese that reflects the purity of its origins.
