T Story and photos by Kristina Sumfleth

he newest home to the highly rated Country Bum’kin Antique Store is located off Route 17B in the 1890 Geiler Family house.

According to proprietor Jenny Vielandi, “We have gotten great, positive reactions from customers with the new space, and the Town of Bethel has been very supportive.”

The store was originally located a little farther down the road but after outgrowing that building, it was moved to the much larger white house.

Vielandi started by filling only half of the new building but quickly expanded and now has merchandise in every room, from the first floor all the way to the spacious attic.

Jenny Vielandi and her husband hail from Queens and began collecting antiques in 2003 with the hope of one day opening a store. After a drive through Sullivan County’s Catskills one day, they happened across a building that was for sale and decided to begin their business.

Many of the second-floor rooms display full-room layouts with multiple pieces of antique furniture. Numerous kitchen items can be purchased at the Country Bum’kin. Shown here is one of their uniquely colored glass bowls.

Pristinely-kept serving forks and spoons are displayed beside glass wine holders and a silver jewelry tree.

The original garage space now houses an assortment of finds, including war helmets and other paraphernalia.

For five years now, The Country Bum’kin has been a strong multi-dealer store, renting out 15 different spaces to sellers. Jenny owns four of those spaces herself.

“Ever since I was little, I was going to antique stores,” she recalled. “I loved it. I am interested in the historical significance of the item, the association with it, how people used it. Some of the items I find are amazing.”

A few of these amazing finds are not only collectibles but also represent some of Sullivan County’s own history. In the glass counter at the front of the store resides relics of the 1969 Woodstock Festival and Yasgur Farms. Jenny has obtained a unique assortment of original tickets, day passes and papers from the festival along with original Yasgur Farms glass milk containers and other items.

Taking a walk through the Country Bum’kin is akin to taking a trip into history. Found among the collection of furniture, old Jelly Belly dispensers, records and vintage hair brushes are treasures that could send anyone on a trip down memory lane.

The Country Bum’kin After perusing the first and second floor of the Country Bum’kin, make sure to stop by the impressive attic.

The architecture of the building creates a unique space where many treasures are hidden.

In one closet at the back of the store, a plethora of figurines line the shelves.

Some of the most unique items are behind a glass case at the front of the store. Jenny Vielandi has collected a vast amount of Yasgur Farms and Woodstock memorabilia that is hard to come by.

from their rom its founding in 1866, Cunningham Farms has always been a family farm.

But now, 147 years later, any family can become part of the Cunningham Farms experience – and it certainly does promise to be an experience!

Siblings Chris, Colleen and Patrick Cunningham have turned this rural intersection of two town roads into a family fun destination, with something for every age.

Parents and grandparents can stroll through the barn and corn maze or just relax at a picnic table while the toddlers crawl through a playground full of soft hay and colorfully painted tires. Older kids, meanwhile, can challenge themselves on a homemade obstacle course or a rope maze.

And everybody will have fun on a hayride or at the Lost Irishman’s Mine, where “gems” can be discovered just by sifting sand through a waterfall!

Then all can gather ‘round painted cutouts of cows and corn for a group shot, capturing a

Kids of all ages are welcome to climb over – or through – it. TOP RIGHT: Located at the corner of Schoolhouse and Hurd & Parks roads in Swan Lake, the farm is a picturesque example of the kind of family homesteads prevalent in this part of the Catskills decades ago. AT RIGHT: There’s no end to the fun things to do at Cunningham Farms, from enjoying ripening red apples to sifting for “gems” in the Old Irishman’s Mine to buying locally-produced maple syrup and honey. Even a now-retired farm tractor – repainted in a rather patriotic flavor – is ready to be climbed on, over, into and out of! The entire acreage is designed to allow families a worry-free, carefree visit, focusing on all the fun a farm family could (and still can) enjoy on a sunny summer or autumn day.

day’s worth of unforgettable memories.

In the process, kids and grownups alike can learn about how farmers grow the food we all eat – by seeing it being grown and harvested right there!

Afterwards, a visit to the gift shop will yield some of those fresh fruits and vegetables, along with candies, toys and healthy snacks.

Cunningham Farms is open every weekend from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. through Halloween, then will reopen for the holiday season (don’t

miss a visit with Santa!). It’s located at the intersection of Schoolhouse and Hurd & Parks Road in Swan Lake, NY (off Route 55).

Stay for the whole day – you can even bring your own picnic lunch! Admission prices are $8 for ages 12 and up, $5 for ages 6-11, and free for ages five and younger. The Lost Irishman’s Mine is an additional $4 per person.

For more info, visit www.cunninghamfamilyfarms.com or call 845-583-4083.

step into The Courtyard I

nside the cozy pub or on the deck outside, The Courtyard feels completely in tune with the outdoors culture that defines this gorgeous nook of the Catskills.

Nestled in the midst of the famed Beaverkill Valley, the Roscoe restaurant and tavern is all about nature. Deer, wolves and waterfowl surround you, as do the natural colors of locallysourced wood and stone in the furniture and fireplace.

The menu also features local items, including the brand new offerings of the Roscoe Beer Company just down the road.

Angus burgers, turkey club sandwiches and homemade soups are top-notch, but you really ought to try “The Tony” (sliced steak on garlic bread) or “The Victor” (ham, salami, provolone, roasted red peppers, lettuce, tomato and onion on a hero roll) to experience The Courtyard’s unique flavors.

With items ranging in price from $3 to just $14, you’re guaranteed to leave with a full stomach AND wallet.

A well-stocked bar – featuring an enormous array of beer, wine and hard liquor – is capably tended by a variety of friendly faces, and TV and games offer even more ways to relax 14 C AT S K I L L S

Underneath an umbrella on the back deck, you can watch players teeing up at the Twin Village Golf Club – or deer and rabbits enjoying their own meal of grass!

There’s no better time to visit 182 Rockland Road (NY Route 206) in Roscoe than now, especially with The Courtyard’s second anniversary party coming on September 28.

“We thank all our customers for their support during the last two years, because without them this could not be possible,” says coowner Courtney Kouril. “My customers have become like family to us!

“And my manager Lori and chefs Tim, Shane and employees, they do an amazing job! I feel very blessed.”

Whether you’re out on the back deck overlooking the nearby golf course (facing page) or inside the cozy dining room enjoying a genuine Angus burger (left), the restaurant offers a memorably tasty experience!
