So many opportunities for car-less visitors to visit #UlsterCounty in the #HudsonValley now! We hope that they will grow the program to incorporate all types of tourism, farm and rural destinations within the county. Thank you @ulstercountyexecutive .

Ulster County is kicking off Earth Day week with our new NATURE BUS, taking residents to and from the county’s beautiful natural, scenic, and recreational destinations, with scheduled stops throughout the day on Saturday, April 27. The County Executive launched the program in partnership with UCAT and the Office of Tourism to expand opportunities to enjoy our county’s outdoor attractions, including for residents who do not own a car or do not drive. The program is entirely free for both transportation and admission to the sites, and all Nature Bus routes include destinations for people of all ages and abilities.

After the April 27 launch, the bus will rotate routes, and run every Saturday through mid-October. Join us on the bus!

To learn more about this exciting initiative, visit participate.ulstercountyny.gov/nature-bus.

We’re feeling so joyful to share that we’re facilitating three powerful Uprooting Racism workshops this Spring!

We all have a significant and intrinsic role to play in uprooting racism in the food system, and the good news is that there are many right answers to the questions, “What can I do to help?” We’ve been deep diving into this question and sharing solidarity strategies far and wide.

Tuesday, March 12th - 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm (EST)
Wednesday, March 13th - 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm (EST)
Wednesday, March 20th - 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm (EST)

Individual and Group tickets are on sale. Check out our website (linked in bio) for more information and to register.

At last, the holiday season is upon us! We’ve composted our farm-picked pumpkins and gourds, cleared off our Thanksgiving tables, and now it’s time to start checking off that December bucket list. First up, picking out and cutting down your very own Christmas tree! It’s not as daunting as it may seem – there are plenty of farms within a couple hours from the city. Grab some hot cocoa, jump in the car, crank up your favorite holiday tunes and make a day out of it!

It only took 4 years, but now we can officially announce our partnership with @rachaelray and the launch of our new spirit - Staple Gin.

@tastingtable posted an article where Rachael has some incredibly kind words about Brian, "He has a beautiful distillery and he's just a sweet, lovely human. He just loves the process of actually making and playing around with something."

More info to come, but if you'd like to be one of the first people to own a bottle of Staple Gin, head on over to www.staplegin.com and sign up for our list.

Also, be sure to start following @staplegin to get an inside look at the making of the first truly culinary crafted spirit.
