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!

William Pollien brings his experience as an apprentice in an award winning German bakery to the Catskills, creating organic seven grain, organic whole wheat, sour dough organic whole rye, semolina and baguettes. Everything is handmade by the owner at his Roxbury bakery.
"The most important thing is to have the feel for it, to make the final adjustment so that the product comes out perfect. Our water here in Roxbury is the best. My favorite part of baking is the smell of it. The aroma that goes all over the house when I bake. And then, of course, the fact that I get to try the first herbal baguette, as soon as it comes out of the oven."

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.”
Owner Sue Mullen grows a variety of culinary herb plants and a selection of heirloom and hybrid tomato plants for gardens and planters. She also offers various other vegetable seedlings, pre-planted herb gardens and a small group of annual flowers.

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.
