Namaste Catskills is a peaceful 14-acre retreat designed for people looking to reconnect with nature, sustainability, and community. Located just two hours from NYC in Livingston Manor, our property blends regenerative agriculture, eco-tourism, camping, and homesteading into a truly unique Catskills volunteer experience.
Volunteers become part of a growing agrisanctuary focused on mindful land stewardship, organic growing practices, pollinator-friendly farming, and immersive outdoor living.
Unlike traditional farm volunteer programs, Namaste Catskills combines sustainable farming with wellness, nature immersion, Catskills adventure, camping culture, and intentional community experiences. Volunteers can help in the gardens and greenhouse during the day, then relax around custom fire pits under the stars at night.
