Andes Sprouts Society located on 23 acres farm land in Andes, New York, within the Catskill Mountain Region. The region's history has been shaped to a great degree by its geography and topography and by the people who have settled in its upland terrain. From the hunting bands of Lenni-Lenape and Iroquois Indians to early European-American settlers and to those who came later in the 20th centruy, humans have sought sustenance derived from the landscape of mountains, forests and river valleys. Dubbed "First American Wilderness" , the Catskill mountain forest preserve is comprised of thousands of acres of forever wild forest land, mountain streams, rivers, rugged mountains, working farmland and villages.

Andes farmland has been a gathering node for farmers and artists since 1997. Andes Sprouts Society was established in 2007 to officially pursue a farming and media art residency initiative.
