Le Jardin Flower Farm
Le Jardin Flower Farm in Amenia brings a “farm-to-vase” ethos to life with seasonal blooms grown right on their Smithfield Valley acreage. Led by Romane Recalde, of rural France origin, the studio’s style is wild, graceful, and effortlessly natural. Le Jardin is guided by what’s blooming now and, celebrating the imperfection of floral stems making every arrangement one of a kind. From delicate flower crowns to show-stopping arbors, no two are the same, just like the Hudson Valley landscapes that inspire them.
In addition to floral styling for weddings and events, Le Jardin is a neighborhood flower shop where nature meets artistry. Step through the French doors to find fresh stems, a make-your-own flower bar, and a curated mix of local vases, ceramics, antiques, thoughtful gifts, and home goods. Walk in or order ahead for custom arrangements, with local delivery and pickup available.
For celebrations big and small, Le Jardin offers flexible à la carte florals as well as full-service design and installation. Their sustainable, seasonally driven approach turns flowers into atmosphere – personal, textural, and a little wild – so hosts can be fully present while the story of their day blooms around them. Workshops and community events round out the experience, inviting guests to play with flowers and reconnect with creativity and Hudson Valley style.
Marton & Davis
Marton & Davis is a home and lifestyle boutique in the heart of Chatham, NY, co-founded by longtime Columbia County residents Melissa Davis and Sherri Marton. Located at 33 Main Street in a historic storefront, the shop offers a thoughtfully curated selection of décor, bath and body products, gifts, and a signature line of Swedish sweets packaged under the Marton & Davis brand. Drawing on their backgrounds in fashion, branding, and real estate, Davis and Marton have created a space that blends timeless style with a sense of discovery, featuring products from renowned designers like John Derian and Bordallo Pinheiro alongside locally made goods, antiques, and exclusive small-batch items.
The shop is deeply rooted in community and history, reflecting the founders’ shared passion for design, storytelling, and the Hudson Valley. Both Davis and Marton previously served on the board of the Columbia County Historical Society, and Davis previously created the Mercantile at the Vanderpoel House, a project that inspired her desire to open a permanent retail space. With Marton’s encouragement, the pair transformed their vision into reality, quickly reimagining the narrow storefront with thoughtful design touches like French doors connecting to neighboring boutique Still Life for future shared events.
More than just a retail destination, Marton & Davis celebrates craftsmanship, local makers, and the joy of in-person shopping. The owners aim to create an inspiring shopping experience where customers can discover beautifully made, often hard-to-find pieces that feel personal and unique.

Otto's Market
Otto’s Market has been a cornerstone of Germantown since 1927, offering locals and visitors a welcoming place to shop, gather, and connect. Originally established as Central Market, the grocery closed briefly in 2007 before Otto Leuschel revived it the following year, transforming it into a hub that seamlessly combined everyday groceries with local farm-fresh produce, specialty foods, and a sense of community. Today, Otto’s remains true to its roots as both a small-town market and a social gathering place, serving deli sandwiches, fresh baked goods, prepared meals, and an evolving selection of local products, all within a space that celebrates its historic character.
In 2017, Otto’s Market entered a new chapter when it was purchased by four friends—Tracy and Dana Martin, Rae Cohen, and restaurateur Noah Bernamoff—who have built upon Leuschel’s foundation while bringing their own expertise in sustainability, hospitality, and design. Under their leadership, the market has undergone significant upgrades, from energy-efficient renovations and a new patio to expanded seating and a composting program that invites community participation. These initiatives reflect Otto’s deep commitment to nourishing Germantown not only with food, but also through environmental stewardship and inclusive community engagement.
More than just a grocery store, Otto’s has become an anchor for Germantown’s revitalization and a living embodiment of its values, supporting local farms, fostering partnerships, and providing a safe space to connect. Whether stopping in for coffee, grabbing a Friday night pizza, or sharing conversation on the patio, neighbors find Otto’s to be a gathering place rooted in nearly a century of tradition and carried forward with care for the future.

Pidgin
Tucked away in the quiet hamlet of Oak Hill, Pidgin is a poetic blend of antique shop, design studio, and sensory experience. Founded by poet and designer Kostas Anagnopoulos, the shop takes its name from a “pidgin”, a simplified form of communication born out of necessity between people without a shared language. Here, that idea takes shape in objects rather than words. Each piece, from weathered wooden tools to handwoven textiles, speaks its own dialect of beauty and utility. Together, they form a kind of conversation, one that bridges eras, cultures, and sensibilities with unspoken grace.
The store itself, set within a lovingly restored 1870s general store, feels more like the home of a design-minded friend than a traditional shop. Every corner carries Anagnopoulos’s curatorial eye and emotional connection to the objects he’s collected over a lifetime, from vintage brassware and handmade soaps to pashmina scarves and small-batch olive oil from his family’s orchard in Greece. The scent of copal resin incense fills the air, and the effect is immersive and intimate, part gallery, part sanctuary. Visitors are invited not just to browse, but to linger, converse, and perhaps share a cup of tea.
Anagnopoulos’s philosophy of collecting is as much about letting go as it is about acquisition. “The harder it is to part with something, the better it feels,” he says, embodying the paradox that defines Pidgin: reverence and detachment, preservation and reinvention. The store’s ever-evolving mix of antiques, artisan goods, and contemporary oddities creates a living ecosystem, an ongoing dialogue between past and future, maker and collector, object and observer. Whether in person or through its upcoming online shop, Pidgin continues to extend this quiet, soulful conversation to anyone willing to listen.
Pidgin is open Friday through Sunday 11-5, long weekends, and occasionally by appointment.

Rough Draft Bar & Books
In the heart of Kingston's Stockade district, Rough Draft Bar & Books has carved out a singular space where beer taps meet bookshelves, and espresso pairs as easily with a novel as it does with a neighborly chat. Founded in 2017 by Amanda and Anthony Stromoski, former Brooklynites turned small-business visionaries, Rough Draft blends bookstore, bar, coffee shop, and event space into one warm and highly social community hub. Set in a historic building at the city’s Four Corners, the space brings together exposed brick, cozy seating, and an ever-rotating selection of new books and locally sourced drinks—from Hudson Valley craft beers to Counter Culture coffee and Aussie-style savory pies.
But Rough Draft isn’t just a vibe—it’s a smart business model. By combining multiple revenue streams (books, booze, coffee, snacks, and merch), the Stromoskis have built resilience into their business, weathering the pandemic with strategic pivots like home delivery, outdoor seating expansion, and online ordering. Events like author readings, trivia nights, and brewery showcases draw a loyal following, while the bar’s casual, come-as-you-are atmosphere has made it a magnet for creative meetings, local families, and remote workers alike. Named for both literary drafts and draught beer, Rough Draft is more than a bookstore or bar—it’s a thoughtfully unfinished place where ideas, friendships, and good stories continue to unfold.

Ten Mile Table
In the heart of Wassaic, Ten Mile Table is more than a wine shop—it’s an ongoing dinner party, a celebration of community, craft, and conversation. Founded by Erika DaSilva, sommelier and wine curator at Wassaic’s popular The Lantern restaurant, Ten Mile Table reflects her two decades in hospitality and her belief that good wine connects people. The shelves are stocked with thoughtful wines, ciders, and spirits chosen with care—each bottle a nod to time, place, and the people behind it.

Beyond the butcher counter, The Meat Hook offers a curated selection of organic produce, pantry staples, cheese from Saxelby Cheesemongers, and thoughtfully prepared foods—all designed to make high-quality ingredients more accessible to the local community.
