    Experience winter’s magic on our Frozen Falls Adventure, a scenic hike to the icy wonder of Awosting Falls in Minnewaska State Park, followed by a cozy, communal farm-to-table feast at Bobo's Farm.
    We’ll kick off the day at The Standard Biergarten before heading north to the Hudson Valley. After our hike through peaceful winter woods and arriving at the frozen falls (one of the region’s most photogenic winter scenes), we’ll transition to Bobo's Farm near Gardiner, NY for the centerpiece of the day: a whole roast lamb feast served in a warm and rustic yurt setting.
    At Bobo's Farm, you’ll gather around long tables within a cozy yurt, and the whole lamb will be ceremonially brought out—still sizzling, expertly carved, and ready to share. According to visitor reports, the ambience is intimate and communal, with guests tearing into the succulent lamb (gloved hands encouraged) amidst warm conversation and the crackle of the fire. (peopleandfood.com) You’ll find sides and seasonal accompaniments to complement the rich meat, all prepared by “Bobo” herself, the chef behind this distinctive experience. (peopleandfood.com)

    • Booking is by group, via form, with few reviews online and limited availability, this gives the moment a somewhat exclusive, hidden-gem vibe. (peopleandfood.com)

    Important Notes:

    • Waterproof hiking boots and warm layers are required.
    • Bring gloves, a hat, and traction cleats if you have them (recommended for icy trails).
    • If outdoor trails are too icy for safe hiking, we’ll pivot to an alternate scenic winter walk.
    • Please consult your physician if you have medical conditions that may affect your ability to hike.
    • At Bobo Farm: be prepared for communal seating, and bring an appetite for the main event, the lamb is central.
    • Space is limited for the farm feast; booking in advance is essential.

    Don’t miss this perfect winter escape, frozen waterfalls, fireside dining, and a Hudson Valley feast you’ll never forget.
