Farm Progression

During our 6 years at The DeBruce we have been gifted with being able to partner with some of the most passionate farmers and producers. This is their time to shine and ours to benefit from their hard work and skill. The back door opens daily and through it walks more and more bushels of raw material from which we can create. For a Cook, this is the dream time of creation.

The bond between a Farmer, Grower, Producer and the Artist that gets to transform their hard work into a dish for a guest is based on respect and passion. It is undeniable that over time the mutual care for the front side and the end result creates a team-like relationship that is impossible to fake. Cooks and Farmers are in a special class together.

For the Catskills and our Valley we are sleepy sneaky in how much talent there is around us. We let them do their thing and then work our tails off to make into magic for our guests.

Hazy, humid mornings with the Cattle grazing in the pasture below us. Trout at its peak condition. Colorful and endless produce coming in that needs to be cleaned because it was just pulled an hour ago. Summer is what we are built for.

Mountain Progression

The farmers have put their land to sleep and the time for reflection begins. We turn to the mountains around us, again. We have taken parts of the months behind us and put them into canning and preserves. We are seeing the growers of beef, venison, chicken, duck and turkey more and more. We reach beyond our region for those careful fishes that seem to want the mountain to pair them up. We accept their challenge.

The last leaves drift downward and at any moment may be joined by the first snow. The earth sleeps but damn, the fireplaces lit feel amazing inside. We take our hikes through the woods now with more to see on the horizon. And our warm kitchen is a great place to be.

Heritage Progression

The DeBruce will be telling the story of the Heritage of our beloved home here in the Catskills. From the original locals, the Leni Lenapes, and into the early Dutch and German immigrant farmers who built the still standing field stone walls to start their farms.

Soon after, American Dry Fly Fishing was birthed (in written form at least) by George LaBranche at the intersection of the Willowemoc and Mongaup Creek just a ½ mile up from us. Then began the Silver Era when the first summer borders escaping the congestion and heat of New York City took rooms in the growing Boarding House business that was burgeoning. After a generation of attempting to tame the rocky ground and farm, those same immigrants started the path to hospitality.

As the number of summer and weekend escapees from New York City exploded it turned the Silver into the Golden Era. The area emerged into the legendary destination that much later captured a generation’s attention in the movie “Dirty Dancing”. Endless buffets, entertainers and comedians cutting their teeth, Simon Says by the pool and the birth of the All-Inclusive model of resorts. The Borsht Belt was a real thing, and the “Catskills” went from a provincial area in New York State to a globally recognized tourist destination. Almost overnight.

The way we like to tell stories at The DeBruce is through food and drink and an immersive dining experience. We love our heritage, and we love the challenge of expressing it to our guests when they sit down to dinner in our jewel box dining room looking out at the valley that helps inspire it all.
