A Rustic Life in the Catskill Mountains
After five years in Michigan, Gilbert and Busfield continued their pursuit of simplicity by moving to New York in 2018. They bought a rustic cottage on 14 acres in the Catskill Mountains, a fixer-upper they affectionately called “The Cabbage.”
The transition to farm life brought Gilbert immense satisfaction. Her days are filled with tasks connecting her to nature and her home, far from the glitz of Hollywood.
She has firmly rejected any return to cosmetic procedures. Instead, her focus is on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, leaving behind dermatologist visits and stylists.

“Our goal,” she explained, “is to support one another as we experience the physical and emotional changes of this life stage.”
