What a pleasant surprise to find on a rainy day in the Sullivan county Catskills! The North Branch Cider Mill, which was once an active cider mill and farm from the 1940's has a new life as is a sweet little specialty shop. I was looking for gifts for my family, and I was not disappointed in the quality of the items, from organic wool jumpers/sweaters to high quality stonewear and items for the kitchen. You will not find the run of the mill (sorry for the pun) gift store objects here, but instead items inspired by nature. British blankets and cushions, Sheepskin rugs, teas, soaps, candles, butter, pickles...just to name a few. The rustic wooden floor, the smell of cider, hand made provisions, add to a feeling of returning to a older and slower time. Because high quality is not inexpensive I was limited in my purchase, but I did notice some seasonal items were on sale. I was also told there were goats on the property which we couldn't see during the rain. It was a lovely experience and I hope to return some day, maybe even for Christmas time shopping!
