We were deeply moved by the sincere joy and overwhelming support at our first annual Christkindlmarkt.

Livestock Foundation wants to thank every visitor whose smiling face graced us and the 25 local vendors who shared their handmade love with one and all.

We are especially grateful for the creativity, hard work, and generosity of our hosts and collaborators Saint James Church Lake Delaware, Paul and Jessica Moore, their family, and the amazing volunteers who made the magic happen.

As the holiday season approaches, we reflect on the strength of the community we serve and the local organizations working diligently to benefit our neighbors, family, and friends.

We are proud to provide support to the Bovina Fire Department, Bovina Public Library, Bovina United Presbyterian Church, Saint James Church Lake Delaware, Pure Catskills, Catskill Mountain Club, Catskill Forest Association, WIOX Radio, Catskills Agrarian Alliance, Kidskill Fund, and Heart of the Catskills Humane Society.

We look forward to sharing even more exciting programming with you in 2024 and wish everyone a warm and happy holiday season!
