Destination Backcountry Adventures
We are Destination Backcountry, a wilderness guide service founded and operated by outdoor professionals—lovers of the wilderness, experienced teachers and guides—who have dedicated our lives to sharing our passion for wild places. And we’d love to take you on an adventure. Any basic guiding service can take you from trailhead to summit and back while simply following the blazes on the trail, offering little to no engagement with the beautiful, natural world around you. That is not what we do. Each of our diverse adventures and classes is expertly designed and led with the aim of bringing you closer to nature. We started Destination Backcountry because our lives have been transformed by a closer relationship with nature. We know the restorative and soul nourishing power of wilderness is not found on crowded trails or in campgrounds, but in the backcountry.

Mira’s Naturals
Mira’s Naturals was a spark, a wish for a bright future, a vision of combining all the things we are passionate about and driving it towards a useful purpose. Our daughter Mira is diagnosed on the Autism spectrum and we had always been brainstorming ideas on how to create a sustainable business to support her needs in the future. Since her diagnosis we were also constantly seeking healthier and more natural options to use in our household. Then along came beekeeping and all of the wonderful, useful, healthy offshoots of it. My husband, Mike, stepped into beekeeping under the encouragement of our dear friends who own the only working farm in our community of Woodstock, NY. They had once had bees and were wanting to have them back as a fixture on the farm. It was an awakening! As we researched all of the amazing and practical uses for honey and beeswax we began to dabble in the creation of those things and in 2014 ,Mira’s Naturals Honey Lip Balm was born. We haven’t stopped growing and creating since!
With constant encouragement, positive feedback and customer satisfaction we continue our search for other products to make and share with our family and community.

Wayside Cider
Alex Wilson & Irene Hussey started Wayside Cider in 2014 after meeting at the Catskill Amateur Cider Making Contest at Table On Ten - Irene won the competition. Alex came second, but maintains to this day he "was robbed."
Forged in a shared love of the wild and abandoned homestead apple trees, the pair made 3500 bottles of methode champenoise, unfiltered mountain cider in their first year of production - which sold out within 3 months. Soon outgrowing their small cidery (irene’s parent's garage) they were fortunate to find a large old barn in the center of the historic Catskill town of Andes NY - which with some elbow grease and a lot of help from their friends, became the new home of Wayside Cider & Tap Room.
