Our story

About Namaste Catskills

A working produce farm on fourteen acres in Livingston Manor, New York, growing food for the town it sits next to.

How it started

From a small campsite to fourteen acres of crops

This land started out as a small tent and teepee camping spot, a quiet corner of the Catskills where guests came to slow down for a night or two. Over time the garden that fed the campsite grew larger than the campsite itself.

Today the growing side is the focus: a 200 foot greenhouse, a one acre outdoor garden, and a crop list that keeps expanding. Our first full growing season was 2026, and we are still learning what this ground does best.

Eco Friendly Practices

Composting and careful soil work come before sprays and synthetic inputs, in the greenhouse and out in the garden.

Community First

We sell straight to people who want it and to shops that stock it. Main Street Farm in Livingston Manor is our biggest account, and we like keeping our relationships close and local.
