OUR FARMERS
The DeBruce fosters relationships with our local farmers year round, but during the height of summer, when there are abundant offerings coming from all corners of the Catskills, we celebrate our farms! Each course of our Farm Tasting Menu Progression highlights specific products from the below farms. Learn a bit more about the remarkable folks who continue the region’s farming tradition below.

HALLORAN FARM VENISON
Halloran Farm is approximately 130 acres, has 60 cows, 250 European Red Deer, chickens, and a variety of vegetables and fruits. They utilize several hundred more acres to make hay, to keep all their animals fed throughout the winter. The Red Deer were brought in to help diversify the farm income. The farm uses all parts of the deer, and the meat is sold locally and in New York City. The antlers from the stags fall off every year and Glenn Halloram and his grandson, Jakob, together create jewelry, fire-starters, and walking sticks out of the antlers.

WILLOW WISP FARM
Willow Wisp Farm is located along the Delaware River, where they grow a diverse mix of vegetables, herbs, and cut flowers on 25 acres. As farmers, they take the long view that while growing food, we should always be improving our soil, increasing the farm’s biodiversity (above ground and below), and contributing to our community. The team does this by using cover crops, crop rotation, and creating insect and wildlife habitat. They use no pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers and are Certified Organic by NOFA-NY Certified Organic, LLC.
Willow Wisp is also home to the Farm Arts Collective—an agricultural organization founded by farmer and theatre artist, Tannis Kowalchuk. Farm Arts Collective’s mission is to build community and cultural practice through four main pillars of activity: farming, art, food, and ecology.
