On July 4th, a devastating storm swept through Plan Bee Farm Brewery, leaving behind a trail of destruction across our beloved farm and business. As the owner, I was heartbroken to discover that our insurance company will not cover the cost of tree removal and cleanup. The damage is overwhelming, and restoring our land is essential not only for our brewery but for the community that gathers here.

For over a decade, Plan Bee Farm Brewery has been more than a brewery — it's been a working farm, a gathering place, and a small piece of Hudson Valley land we've poured our hearts into. Our 25 acres at 115 Underhill Road are home to a restored 1830s barn, a hop yard, no-till barley fields, a five-acre crabapple orchard, beehives, and yes — Ron and Hermione, our goats, along with our flock of chickens. Everything we grow feeds directly into Barn Beer, our wild-fermentation farmhouse ale, which carries NYS Grown & Certified status because nearly everything in the bottle comes from right here.

The funds raised will go directly to local landscaping and tree removal services to help us with the cleanup effort. Your support will help us restore the farm, care for our animals, and continue to be a place where the community can gather and celebrate. If you’ve ever enjoyed a beer here, visited our farm, or simply believe in supporting local agriculture, I invite you to rally around Plan Bee Farm Brewery during this tough time. Thank you for helping us rebuild and keep our dream alive.
