Art Studio Views a true find in the Hudson Valley
One of the many gems of the Hudson Valley is the annual Art Studio Views held every Labor Day weekend On Saturday & Sunday artists and photographers open their studios for you to peruse their art work. You'll see their work surroundings, which can be as interesting as the art work itself. Their venues are as different the artists themselves. You'll get to see the beauty of the Hudson Valley as you meander from place to place. The artists are as gracious about speaking with you as they are in opening their private studios.Hope to see you there.......I wouldn't think of missing it!

Going to a farmer's market in the Hudson Valley
The farmer's markets throughout the Hudson Valley are just fabulous! You can go to a different one every week or just frequent your favorite one. Hyde Park's farmers market is held every Saturday morning in the town hall's parking lot, rain or shine from 9am to 2pm from June to the end of October.
The fruits and vegetables, you can tell were just picked that morning.....how much fresher can it get? !If you're lucky, the farmer may give you a sample of some of his produce before you decide what to purchase.
You'll have to try some farm-fresh eggs, the yolks are such a brilliant yellow, they are truly amazing and not to be missed.
And don't forget about the local honey and maple syrup vendor. There is nothing healthier for you then eating the local honey. And wait till you taste and savor locally produced maple syrup, it is so light to the taste and not overly sweet, you'll be wondering how you have survived all these years with the store bought stuff.
Going to the local markets lets you eat fresher and healthier foods. You'll also will have the chance to talk with the farmers, as you stand at their vendor table, you'll be able to ask questions about their crops and other products.They'll share with you their farming tales but all you really need to do is study their hands, it will tell you everything you'll need to know about being a farmer.

So you want to be an Innkeeper?
The year was 1995, we wanted to settle in the Hudson River Valley with all of it's history, culture, arts, walking trails and food (The Culinary Institute of America is just 3 miles from our bed and breakfast), what was there not to love about the Hudson Valley! We would still be close to "the city" (New York City) where we are from, just a quick train ride away.
So we opened Journey Inn Bed & Breakfast in Hyde Park, New York (Franklin D. Roosevelt's Home & Presidential Library), we are just across from The Vanderbilt Mansion ... it doesn't get much better than this!
We are celebrating our 15th year as innkeepers and we've never looked back.
