Take a break from life’s busy hiway.

Relax, contemplate, reflect

Stay a while, pick and choose.”

Tony Forder

​

I am a naturalized Brit, living in the US for some 40 years, first in California, then New Jersey. Limetree is a nickname given to me, derived from the moniker Limey, given to Brits in general.

​

Beer has been central to my life. In 1992 I co-founded Ale Street News, a free brewspaper that chronicled the rise of craft beer in the US and around the world. After a 27-year run, the brewspaper's lifeblood – print advertising – dried up, and I decided to move on and delve into artistic pursuits. I do not claim to be an expert in all these fields, but I hope that my attempts to create may inspire others to live a little more creatively.

In line with artistry, I sometimes feel like I took the vow of poverty. So, if you like what you see or feel any empathy, encouragement is welcome in comment or indeed in donation.

OASIS
00:00 / 00:54

The Oasis​, 10 Fence Road, Warwick, NY

​

Just as this website hopes to be somewhat of an oasis from the information overload that we suffer in our daily lives so is the Oasis Farm, located in Warwick, NY,  a place of relaxation and enjoyment.

​

My trailer, the Limetree Cafe (the physical manifestation of this website), is an oasis within the Oasis. Along with Oasis property owner Dan Doyle and brewer Charlie Holmgren, I am part of Fence Road Farm Brewery which is planning a spring 2025 opening to offer lubrication and sustenance to visitors. While Charlie will be furiously fermenting a smorgasbord of beer recipes, I will be bringing forth a variety of meads (honey wine), most featuring fruits grown on the farm.

 

Recreation comes in the form of Disc Golf with 18 holes of baskets and chains spread over 45 acres of unspoiled meadows and woodlands.
