We have long been admirers of the brilliant Irving Farm Coffee shops, not least because they are a unique presence in the Hudson Valley, maintaining a roasting barn, a café and a quarter of their staff in “sleepy” Millerton, New York, 30 miles due east (well, by crow) and across the river from the Hudson Woods site. We spoke with John Summerour--who has the unusual title of “dream catcher” at the company-- about what makes Irving Farm so different from the bright constellation of high end, specialty coffee operations.

Only 12 miles from the Hudson Woods property, Saunderskill Farms is, according to many documents the second oldest farm operating in the country.
