Sap Bush Hollow is a three generation pasture-based livestock farm and farm-to-table cafe located in the heart of Schoharie County, in the tiny hamlet of West Fulton. It has been in continuous operation since 1979. The family sells grass fed lamb and beef, pastured pork and poultry, and pasture-raised eggs. Each Saturday morning during the growing season, the entire family and crew pile in to Sap Bush Cafe to offer their farm-to-table brunch to customers from 9-2. They sell their meats online, through their farm store, and through community supported agriculture shares.
