A UNIQUE COUNTRY STORE
 little piece of the country" can be found on Main Street in Windham at the Catskill Mountain Country Store and Restaurant, one of the area's best-loved family destinations. Owned and operated by husband and wife team Drew and Natasha Shuster (with the help from 12 year-old Sydney, 11 year old Augustus and 6 year-old Victoria Dehlila),this multi-faceted establishment not only offers some of the best breakfasts and lunches available on the Mountain Top, but also includes a unique country gift shop and a regional gourmet food store. A "looking zoo" with pigs, goats, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, and miniature horses, all rescued from local shelters, will delight children and adults alike.
"A Magic Move on the Mountain"
Business at the store is always brisk and adequate parking has always been an issue. As part of a multi-million dollar expansion plan, the Shuster’s have embarked on an ambitious plan to move their historic house—the Old John Howard House built in 1852— up the mountain behind the store to make room for a new parking area. This is phase one in The Shusters new project for their business.

Drew and Natasha started their business in 1986 as a gift basket shop. It wasn't long before Natasha, who was educated at the Culinary Institute of America, realized that her talents in the kitchen provided a perfect means for expanding their enterprise-not to mention that Drew happened to be a mean baker. First they added a bakery, and in 2000 they added the restaurant. With so many tasks to attend to in this ever expanding country paradise, Drew and Natasha have hired many wonderful people, who all add something special to this country experience.
