An organic haven in the Catskills STORY AND PHOTOS

BY AUTUMN SCHANIL

ertain places seem to have a magical quality about them, a sense of wonder, and surprisingly, a feeling of arriving home all at the same time.

Twelve acres of property in Woodridge known as The Outlier Inn, impart just those kinds of feelings.

Once used as a farm for race horses in the 1930s, it is now a sacred-hideaway paradise with captivating, sustainable wonders at every turn, like the other-worldly Geo Dome perched at the edge of the forest or the outdoor kitchen that also serves as a small greenhouse.

The Outlier Inn is owned and operated by Joshua Druckman, as an organic, sustainable farm with angora rabbits, goats, sheep, chickens, fruits and vegetables. It is also, surprisingly, a retreat and recording studio. “I had always been interested in

farming, but I didn’t grow up doing it.

I grew up in horse country in South Florida and came to the Catskills every summer for camp,� said Druckman. “My grandfather had a farm in Bethel, where he grew up, and he and my grandmother used to own a summer camp in Parksville in the

Owner of The Outlier Inn, Josh Druckman, holds one of the many chickens that roam freely on the property.

On the edge of the woods, glowing in natural light, appearing other-worldly, lies the Geo Dome that can comfortably sleep up to 16 people.

‘60s and ‘70s called Camp Kiwanis.

“Eventually I moved to the city from Florida and I would come upstate on the weekends, so when I got tired of the city this was the natural place for me to go,” Druckman continued. “I was 26 at the time and originally this was supposed to be my hideaway to figure out what I wanted to do, and to find myself. This coming year I’ll have

been on this property for 15 years.”

Six years ago, Druckman and his then-partner Ambika Conroy, decided to give their farming skills a try and started the fiber and organic veggie farm together.

together taking care of the farm and animals.

Conroy creates sustainable swimwear and winterwear, such as hats, vests, stoles (a long scarf or shawl) and mittens with the soft, fluffy wool and hair she hand-shears from the angora rabbits and pasture-raised angora goats and merino sheep.

She shears the animals according to their natural molting cycles, avoiding stressing the animal, leaving it hairless when it shouldn’t be, and ensuring that the hair fibers grow long enough so they don’t fall apart when being spun into yarn.

“Ambika handspins the wool using wind-powered spinning wheels,” explained Druckman, “or brings it to Buckwheat Bridge Angoras, a wind- and solar-powered fiber farm in Elizaville in the Hudson Valley.”

She also employs local women from Sullivan County to hand spin, dye the material naturally with wild plants, and crochet out of their homes, allowing

them to still be with their families.

One of her main crocheters is based in Livingston Manor, while another spinner and crocheter is in Mountaindale.

“Something like 90 percent of the angora bunnies are based in China and they’re kept in pretty horrible conditions,” stated Druckman, “but here they hang together, they go in and out of their nest boxes, and they love it. They’re happy.”

When Druckman isn’t taking care of the animals or making records with various artists in his studio, you can find him in the garden attending to the many varieties of veggies and herbs that flourish there: lettuces, kale, swiss chard, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, squash and more.

Groups of guests that rent either the Geo Dome, the four rooms in the main house, the bungalow or the two-room cottage on the property are able to purchase veggies and fresh farm eggs from the free-roaming chickens during their stay.

You can’t get any fresher than that.

At the farm, guests are asked to compost and recycle everything they can, to be mindful of the trash they create, keep shared areas clean, and to meet and make friends around the outdoor community table.

“I try to practice what I preach,” said Druckman.

“This place has become a little mini demo for living in a sustainable way and guests are encouraged to do the same.”

The outdoor kitchen located just above the garden also acts as a small greenhouse for herbs and other plants.

onor Crickmore’s got a good feeling that his and wife Kate’s Neversink Farm may have achieved something incredible.

“We have the highest production per square foot in the country, as far as I know,” Conor says. “... We’re probably producing three times some of the best farmers nationally.”

Heavy with ripening fruit, tomato plants twist their way toward the top of one of a halfdozen greenhouses at Neversink Farm.

Edible fruits and vegetables aren’t Neversink Farm’s only output. Decorative flowers grow in an eye-catching cacophony of colors.

How has he managed to accomplish this on such a small slice of rocky Catskill Mountains soil?

Small-scale ingenuity.

Conor has spent the past five years of Neversink Farm’s existence learning what works and what doesn’t, and he’s a quick study, to boot. Take, for example, the propagation house (where plants are first cultivated) that he built on his own – piping, wiring, layout, everything.

Or the way he handles soil just hours after harvesting.

“We’ll turn it over and replant it, and that’s how we’re able to do it,” he explains.

Conor and Kate grow only what sells – tomatoes, raspberries, lettuce, melons, cucumbers, scallions, spinach, beets, broccoli, sunflowers, cauliflower, decorative flowers, all

organic. They gave up raising chicken Save for the greenhouses, Neversink Farm’s acre-and-a-half looks more like a vegetable garand pork years ago (save for the fam- den than a working farm – and that’s the idea. ily’s two Tamworth pigs).

“We make very quick decisions, and we’re not scared to throw out a system, even if it’s expensive,” Conor affirms. “... You learn as you do it – you have no choice.”

And they teach as they go, both their employees and fellow farmers.

(The farm is not open to the general public.) They’re eager to share best practices, to show other farmers that property size and equipment don’t have to be the only factors influencing productivity.

And despite the common view of farming as intensive, the crew isn’t working 24/7.

Conor says, which increases to three in the winter. “Our workers never work more than five days [a week].”

Workdays are the standard 8 a.m.-5 p.m., and housing for both the workers and the Crickmores (including their twin three-year-olds, Zoe and River) is within walking distance.

Though they bring in enough to survive and pay employees a living wage, profitability is still a year or two away.

Conor and Kate are currently investing most of what they make back into the farm, buying two new delivery vans and hoping to add just enough infrastructure beyond the six existing greenhouses to reach what Conor considers an optimum size and output.

“We don’t have any money to get big,” he notes, “plus I like it at this level.”

Still, he and Kate have already paid

off two of three business loans, and the $30,000 with which they started Neversink Farm is now typically eclipsed by two weeks of sales.

“As soon as the infrastructure is where it needs to be and the loans are paid off,” Conor predicts, “we’ll be in a position to make a profit.”

Till then, he’s intensely focused on creating a farm that bucks the stereotypes of long hours, minuscule profit margins and rough working conditions.

“Sometimes it’s fun, sometimes it’s just tedious,” he admits, “but I like everything about farming.

“The joy now is ... I like being good at what I do!” *** Looking for Neversink Farm’s products? Head to Main Street Farm in Livingston Manor, then visit neversinkfarm.com to learn about their philosophy and methods.

Cover crops on the menu at Cornell Cooperative Extension

C

BY ANTHONY MORGANO

oming up in September, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Sullivan County (CCESC) will host a workshop to discuss cover crops, which are planted and nurtured for the protection and enrichment of the soil.

CCESC educators will explain the benefits of each available species of cover crop and the basics of soil health, and provide tips on equipment used to seed and harvest cover crops. Educators will also instruct on crop insurance and risk management.

Cover crops are a useful tool when

it comes to growing vegetables as they aid in the process in a multitude of ways. They suppress weeds by rapidly establishing smother crops, protect soil from rain and runoff due to their broad leaves and robust root system. Some cover crops also improve the aggregate stability (ability to resist disintegration) of soil with the active release of glues and fungus that produce aggregate glues.

Other benefits of cover crops include reducing surface crusting with their shallow, fibrous root systems, adding active organic matter to soil, breaking hardpan (hard unbroken ground), fixing nitrogen levels, scavenging soil nitrogen and suppressing soil diseases and pests.

In New York State, cover crop usage is important as the soil is less forgiving of agricultural practices than

many other regions, according to the Cornell website. There are many different kinds of cover crops from Buckwheat to White Clover, and each has different benefits.

The Cover Crop class will be held on Thursday, September 1, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Gerald J. Skoda Extension Education Center located at 64 Ferndale-Loomis Road in Liberty.

Space is limited.

Reservations are $15 per person, or $10 for CCESC enrollees.

Partial scholarships are available for this educational program, made possible with support from Sullivan Renaissance. In the event of financial hardship or special needs, the public should contact the office. To reserve your spot, contact CCESC at 845-2926180 or email Sullivan@cornell.edu.
