Sterling Valley Maple is a family owned maple producer. Located in Lewis County, NY, in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, three generations of maple producers tap thousands of trees every spring to produce pure maple syrup. Josh and Gena Stamp work together with their family to produce maple syrup.

The name “Sterling Valley Maple” is a recent addition to a long family tradition, and the name has significance to us as well. Maple has been in Gena’s family, the Keefers, for generations (really, we have no idea how many generations, but it’s a lot). Here in upstate New York, most dairy farmers at some point have also made maple syrup. It helps to fill in the winter/spring, which is a “down time” for crop farmers. Gena remembers as a child being loaded into a tractor pulled wagon and heading back into the boiling shed in the woods to make maple syrup. Bob was involved for years, but then took a break and Gena went off to college and then lived away from northern New York for several years.
