Ulster County NY is the premiere venue for festivals in New York State! From Woodstock NY, the legendary Upstate NY town, to Saugerties NY (the site of the 1994 Woodstock music festival), there are a number of beautiful places to host a concert! 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the original Woodstock 1969 Music Festival(!), and efforts are underway to establish a permanent performing arts center on the grounds of Winston Farm in Saugerties NY (where Woodstock '94 was held).

tractorFarms have always been a part of the culture and history here in Ulster County NY.

Our cravings started with the opening of Davenport Farmstand in Stone Ridge, NY and like many others we've been waiting for this time of year.  Residents of Ulster County can now enjoy fresh and nutritious food, grown on the farm and brought straight to their dinner tables.
