It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the sudden passing of a beloved member of our family, Jayson Buzzard. Jayson was the devoted husband of Ann Morkaut (Elisabeth’s sister), cherished brother-in-law to Elisabeth and Darin Van Houten, and Chris Morkaut, and beloved son-in-law to Susan Morkaut. Jayson brought love, laughter, and fun wherever he went. He cared deeply for Ann, his family and their adored two pups, Sissy and Bubba, who were his pride and joy. His warmth and humor filled our lives, and his absence leaves an irreplaceable void in our hearts. Please keep our family in your thoughts.
Rest in Peace, Jayson

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

One of our dearest and greatest friends needs our help.

Remember the days...
Fall 2018...the farm was alive with music, the community was here...the best local artist serenaded us on Saturday or Sunday afternoons.

And our friend Tim O’Donohue, from TMU Band kicked off the first feel-good season at the farm.

Tim O’Donohue is currently dealing with treatments due to cancer. Besides incoming medical costs, he has had loss of income while battling his fight.

An incredible one-day concert is being held THIS SUNDAY, April 14th starting at 11:30AM to 7:30PM to help support Tim and another fellow musician also battling cancer.

The event will take place at the Gaelic Athletic Association in Orangeburg, NY The G.A.A. is located on the border of Rockland and Bergen counties.

Two stages-18 Bands

Tim has always been one of our biggest supporters of the cidery (both Upstate & Downstate) & our farm. When we started putting together events in Orangeburg, he was the first to perform at the farm for Music in the Garden back in October 2018.

Tim's influence on the music scene both locally and throughout the Hudson Valley, Rockland County and the Catskills resonates!
He's given us the gift of music time and time again, now it's time to give back to him!

We love you, Tim ❤️
