Get introduced to our community through our Supper Clubs

We host periodic Supper Clubs at our space at Made X Hudson in Catskill, NY. They are every February, April, June, September, and December. We aim to feature an emerging chef and facilitate structured sharing and connections to get the most value out of the gathering. You can also check out events from our members.

Every single small business in the Hudson Valley can benefit from it - no matter what level or phase.”
