Sweet Spring Farm is a
small goat dairy farm
located in the heart of
beautiful Washington
County, New York,
bounded by the Hudson
River Valley to the
west, the Green

Dutch Desserts -
Kinderhook, NY - (518)
758-8820 |
 |
Marjan Beebe came to the
United States from the
Netherlands in 1989 to
visit her brother in
Kinderhook, NY. While
here, she met Keith
Beebe, a local college
professor. They began to
date and after about two
months decided to get
married.
In the early days of
their marriage, Keith
told Marjan that he was
an apple pie "fanatic"
and was always looking
for "the best" apple
pie. After trying
numerous pies from
roadside stands and
restaurants, Marjan told
Keith, "You haven't
tried apple tart (as
they are called in the
Netherlands) until you
have tried mine." After
one bite of her apple
tart, Keith agreed that
not only was it the best
he had ever tasted but
that it was marketable.
He told her he never
tasted anything even
close to the wonderfully
delicious crust combined
with the apples and
cinnamon. Eventually
they started to sell the
apple tart at one small
farmers' market in
Kinderhook. This was
very successful and
people began to ask for
other flavors such as
blueberry, peach,
raspberry, etc.
Several years later
Dutch Desserts continues
to grow at a very fast
pace. They now provide
their tarts to numerous
stores in eastern New
York, western
Massachusetts, and
Connecticut, and, they
sell their products at
many upscale farmers'
markets throughout the
area...

We strive to be a Candle
Manufacturer/Wholesaler/Retailer
who loves to create
candles that reflect the

also very aware that
it’s only candles being

to enjoy the moment,

take life so seriously
that we can’t enjoy the
sunset through the pines
and across the lake at
the end of a great day.
That’s life in the
Adirondacks and at the
Adirondack Candle
Company.
Give us a call, or send
us an email…we’d love to

The Cambridge Rocking Horse
Company - Buskirk, NY - (518)
677-3212 |
 |
New York artist Ed Hepp
creates beautiful
carousel-style rocking
horses. His horses
appear in art galleries
and as fine furniture in
distinguished homes.
Ed made his first
rocking horse in 1990,
as a special gift for a
family member. The
result exceeded even his
own expectations.
Everyone who saw it
wanted one of their own.
When the first horse
drew national attention,
the Cambridge Rocking
Horse Company was born.
Each figure is original,
hand-crafted and unique,
and based upon Ed’s
exhaustive study of
traditional
carousel-style horses
and the history of their
design and
craftsmanship. They are
reminders of a simpler
era of beauty, charm and
quality. The rocking
horses are built to be
admired, but also for
children to ride.
Despite demand, Ed
carves and paints each
figure himself. Each is
signed and numbered.

Crazy As A Loom Weaving Studio -

Sometimes the simplest
methods are the best.
That is why all the
weaving at Crazy as a
Loom Weaving Studio is
done on antique looms,
the old fashioned way.
While it is a working
studio, visitors are
always welcome. There
are literally tons of
fabric, and many
projects in progress. It
is all about color and
texture.
For me, Crazy As A Loom
Weaving Studio is a
dream come true. In a
historic, renovated

& placemats from mill
ends, selvedge material,
and recycled fabric.
Located in beautiful
northeast New York, I

Dux' Dekes Handcrafted Decoys -
1356 North Road,
Greenwich, NY - (518)
692-7703 |

 |
Our family business,
Dux' Dekes Handcrafted
Decoys, has been serving
the decorative decoy
industry and wood
carving industry at our
upstate NY location
since 1987. Our decoys
are carved from
Adirondack white pine.
White pine is used for
slicks (painted decoys).
Pine, with its beautiful
wood grains, is an
excellent wood for
staining and for use in
various antiquing
techniques. White pine
is versatile because it
can also be used for
detailed carving and
feathering. We take
great pains to bring the
best quality wood to
your door. We dry our
wood right here in the
shop, cutting out the
knots and checks
(cracks) to deliver a
quality carving for your
enjoyment.
We have tried and
succeeded in bringing a
high-quality wooden
decoy to the market. Our
basic carvings have
walked a fine line
between those who want
to paint right out of
the box and those who
wish to detail. When
these designs were made,
we left enough wood to
carve, but not too much
that the decoys looked
out of proportion when
painted right out of the
box. In 1997 we started
our line of "premier"
carvings. This was in
response to those who
wanted more realism,
extra detail, raised
primaries and tertials,
and a little more
attitude
Jeff's goose decoys and
wood duck decoys have
been sold throughout
North America and
internationally. Dux'
Dekes brings high
quality wooden decoys of
many varieties to the
market. It takes time to
prepare each decoy with
precise detail and
accuracy...

Old Chatham Sheepherding Company

Old Chatham, NY -

Produced in New York’s
bountiful Hudson Valley,
Old Chatham Sheepherding
Company’s award-winning
sheep’s milk cheese and
yogurt are celebrated
for their uniqueness and
distinctive flavors.
All year round our
experienced cheese
makers skillfully turn
small batches of fresh
sheep’s milk into a
variety of handcrafted
artisan cheeses and
yogurts. The sheep’s
milk is pasteurized then
cultured, which
transforms the milk into
curds and whey. The
curds are handled in
various ways depending
on the type of cheese
being produced. Our
soft-ripened cheeses are
ladled into molds to
drain, placed in a salt
brine bath, then
carefully transferred to
curing racks where they
are turned daily. Some
are cured for several
days, others for a few
weeks. Each piece of
cheese is hand-wrapped
in special paper and
labeled with our
distinctive Black Sheep
logo before being sent
from the farm...

Saratoga Sweets - 1618 Route 9,
Halfmoon, NY -
1-800-827-9060 |

 |
Saratoga Sweets first
opened for business in
late November 1988 in
historic Saratoga
Springs, NY. Back then
we produced a small
variety of handmade
chocolates, most made
right in the window of
our Caroline Street
shop. It was during that
first holiday season
that we were approached
by our local historical
society regarding a
“lost” holiday tradition
called the Peppermint
Pig™. Using borrowed
candy molds and the
original recipe, about
100 Peppermint Pigs™
were made just in time
for sale that Christmas
Eve Day. We were greeted
that snowy morning by a
crowd of Saratogians of
all ages gleefully
waiting to get their
first Peppermint Pig™ in
over 50 years. While we
didn’t have nearly
enough pigs to go
around, all were happy
that the Peppermint
Pigs™ had returned.
Since that first
Christmas season, our
production in both
chocolates and
Peppermint Pigs™ has
grown tremendously.
Saratoga Sweets proudly
offers over 100
different types of
chocolates, truffles and
novelties and last
holiday season over
120,000 Peppermint Pigs™
were made in our new
candy kitchen in
Halfmoon, NY Just south
of Saratoga Springs.
With a year ‘round crew
of 10 candy makers (that
grows to 24 for the
holidays), all of us at
Saratoga Sweets are
committed to making your
candy the freshest,
tastiest and most
traditional candy you’ve
ever eaten.
If you’re in the area,
especially around
Christmas, stop by –
we’d love to tell you
all about the famous
Peppermint Pigs™ and
show you how we make
‘em!...
