Nature’s first green is gold.

From time to time, and especially because we frequently field inquiries for tourism recommendations, we amplify the voice of our business community friends and neighbours. One such business that we frequently endorse while tending to the farm is Maeve's. I don't trust anyone else's coffee in my cup when in the mountains! --------------------- The best cup of coffee along the Rt. 28 corridor in Delaware and Ulster counties has completed their expansion from the Pine Hill Arms ...to the plaza on Rt. 28 in Phoenicia. For the past few years, Maeve's Place has provided a quality cup, a variety of breakfast and lunch items, and makes a difference in the world by compassionately resourcing their products while providing work opportunities for folks with special needs. Their new location, front-and-center, easy-in easy-out, will make it your favorite pit-stop. And when you need a place to wet your whistle or lay your head down at the base of Belleayre Mt, check out the family's restaurant and lodging at Pine Hill Arms Hotel. Find Maeve's adjacent Woodstock Brewing, amidst the Phoenicia Diner and the Emerson Resort, et al.

Season 2020 has wrapped up. Cleaned up the hives, consolidated equipment, and packed it in for the year that wasn’t. We’ve been playing with bees for 7 years, and will happily go for another 7. Times are stressful at home and abroad, so remember to bee kind. In all, just bee yourself. And keep on buzzin’ along. Pictured: 1) A small piece of burr comb removed from a hive body. 2) Country coat rack. 3) The farm in Autumn. 4) An example of the foundationless frames of honeycomb we cultivate.

Autumn is coming.
