Insider Tips

Farms

• Westwind Orchard.  What started as a labor of love by photographer, Fabio Chizzola, and stylist, Laura Ferrara, has become a magnet for the local community.  At the heart of Westwind is one of the few organic apple orchards in New York state, however, their farming operation has grown to include a plethora of farm-made products and produce. It's a must visit if you're in the area.

• Arrowood Brewery.  Arrowood is the only organic brewery in New York state.  After opening in 2016, it became, and remains, a gathering spot for the community.  The draw is the masterfully and freshly-brewed beer and the farm-setting where chickens roam free and hops vines shoot toward the country sky.  It's across the street from Westwind, so two birds, one stone. 

• Saunderskill Farm.  During the growing season, Saunderskill Farmers Market has an active U-pick operation and a vibrant farmer’s market where you can pick up a vast array of produce, prepared products and deliciously baked pies and pastries.  Be forewarned, the cider donuts are slightly addictive.

Restaurants

• Country Inn.  Located on a backcountry road, the Country Inn is a great spot for a hang and a good meal. In the summer, sit outside on the deck overlooking the lake and watch the kids search for frogs and turtles. In the winter, saddle up to the cozy bar and get lost in the selection of over 400 beers from around the world.

• StoneHouse Tavern.  This restaurant recently underwent a facelift and a complete menu overhaul. It’s a regular spot for locals with a bustling weekend bar scene and well-made contemporary American fare. 

Outdoors

• If you're a hiker and want a perfect home base, Accord real estate is a great choice. It's a short drive to hiking trails, swimming holes and kayaking spots in Minnewaska State Park, Mohonk Preserve, and various spots in the Eastern Catskills.
