About Black Shack
Black Shack is led by Meghan Byrnes-Borderan and (sometimes begrudgingly!) Olivier Borderan, along with their two sons, Alistair (11) and Zylo (7). In 2021, they left city life behind and moved from their tiny, Upper East Side apartment to start a new chapter on about 3 acres of land in the Weston woods. Their deep-rooted love for nature and their children's boundless curiosity fuels their exploration of the endless possibilities within their backyard.
