Food
In The Woods
Have you ever noticed that food tastes better outside? Something to do with the interaction of the flavors in the food, the movement of the air in the forest and our taste buds. Our goal is to make our food's trip from the earth to your mouth as short as possible and do it in a way that is delicious, sustainable and memorable.
Wood Fired Pizza
We make our pizzas fresh to order in our custom built wood-fired pizza oven.
Local Greens
Our menu changes with the seasons. Each week we focus our creations on what is freshest, local and in season.
The bulk of our ingredients come from the immediate Hudson Valley area.
Baked Goods & Drinks
Try our Climber Cookies and Cosmic Nectar Balls as well a variety of scones, biscuits and muffins on the weekends.
Thirst-Slaking and Eye Opening Drinks
We offer the Rail Trail Green Drink, Kalemanade, smoothies and locally roasted coffee.
Our homemade popsicles are popular, too.
Art & Music
In The Woods
Come join us under a canopy of trees! Our musicians call it the “Green Cathedral”. In the same way that food tastes better in the woods, we have found that music sounds great on our little stage just off the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail. There’s a natural backdrop, a small sound system, a few lights and open ears and hearts.
Experience a wide range of Hudson Valley musicians exploring jazz, folk and world traditions in a relaxed and relaxing space.
