We have been producing various wool items such as blankets, rugs, scarves, accessories and other “wearable arts” since 2008. Our extensive arts training — both formal and informal — helped us to become easily comfortable with the medium. We learned the mechanical aspects of fiber production relatively quickly and we now apply to these skills to create a steady stream of new and interesting products and novel projects. We have also started utilizing goat hide and sheepskin (shearling) for new product lines.
In addition to clothing, art and household products, our farm also offers tender young lamb and goat meat, chickens, eggs, and seasonal turkeys for sale. A steadily growing demand for these gourmet food items has resulted in us making regular deliveries to customers in the New York City area.

The Grey Mouse Farm is a real, working family farm located off Route 32 in Saugerties. The little mice, as we like to refer to ourselves, work year-round to grow, package and market the delicious preserves, garlics, pickles, all-fruit spreads, mustards, all-purpose sauces and mustards.
The products are made the old fashioned way — with love and care (no chemicals, additives or preservatives). To ensure freshness, everything is made in small batch production canning exactly what the orchards produces each season. The number of cases are not extended with fillers like corn syrup or other ingredients.
The mother/daughter team, Sallie and Kathy Kreda, began this business after a banner season which produced more fruits and vegetables than they could eat or give away. A gourmet cook, Sallie began to win local festivals. These award winning products are the result. Sallie is now retired but the tradition continues with Kathy and the micettes!

All of the meat, cheese, prepared foods and farm products found at NYFarm2Door are local to New York State and family farmed. Our meats are often heritage breeds and always raised in the most sustainable ways according to traditional animal husbandry. This means all of our beef is grass fed and grass finished always. And you may say “it's so well marbled and flavorful.” That’s because we are the only butchers offering high choice/prime completely grass fed and dry aged local beef.
The pork is pastured its whole life, eating the farm’s leftover grain and vegetables right in the pastures. Also, much of our pork gets the leftover whey from local dairies. And you can find those same dairy products right here at NYFarm2Door. Some of the spices we use such as fennel pollen from Tuscany, Calabrian red chilis or truffles from Italy or France are the only ingredients that don't come from New York State.
All the animals, whether lamb, beef, goat, pork or duck are chosen because they live the best and most natural quality of life. And this translates to the best quality of products for you and your family.

Slickepott: funny Swedish name, serious chocolate fudge sauce. Everyone falls in love with this velvety ganache: drizzled on ice cream, clinging to fresh fruit, adorning cakes, pies and pastries; even on pretzels and chips; or by the spoonful right from the jar! Slickepott is made with the best natural ingredients: no corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, preservatives or thickening agents.
Slickepott is a Swedish idiom; a verb to describe licking something delicious from a bowl, spoon, or beater; and has also been used as an affectionate nickname for “the one who licks the bowl.”
Specializing in grass-fed lamb, goat, chickens, turkeys, eggs, pork, beef and organic goat milk products are raised and made on our family farm located in a lush, quiet valley in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains.

Liege-style Belgian Waffles: a mouth-watering European delicacy that begins with yeast dough containing pearl sugar. The pearls of sugar caramelize when the dough balls are baked in our imported cast-iron waffle makers, producing a delectable warm treat; tender and moist on the inside, crunchy sweet on the outside, and a phenomenal aroma that draws people to the source.
Also featured: bold, rich, coffee, cappuccino, latte, espresso and Americana, plus a variety of teas, and a special, refreshing juice blend — orange/lemon base with pureed strawberries…not too sweet, not too tart.
