About Old Chatham Country Store

Since 1787, Old Chatham Country Store has stood at the heart of Columbia County’s Old Chatham hamlet, serving as a gathering place for locals and travelers alike. Today, under the ownership of Caroline Jacquiss, this woman-run restaurant and market continues that legacy, celebrating the abundance of the Hudson Valley through farm-to-table dining and locally sourced goods. The café’s daytime menu features fresh salads, housemade soups, and sandwiches—like the much-loved fried chicken on focaccia—while dinner offers a rotating selection of shareable, seasonal plates paired with a thoughtful wine list and house-baked desserts.

Beyond the dining room, the market shelves are filled with regional produce, meats, dairy, and artisan-made home goods—an inviting stop for both everyday shopping and culinary inspiration. True to its community-first mission, the Country Store also hosts events, workshops, and a Chef-in-Residency program, welcoming guest chefs to create limited-run menus that celebrate local ingredients in new ways.

With its blend of historic charm and modern sensibility, Old Chatham Country Store embodies the best of Hudson Valley hospitality—a place where good food, good company, and a deep respect for the land come together under one roof.
