I have been to the F&C Brooks and Sons (Generation Farm) out on Tongore Road in Ulster County many times. The Milk is pretty cheap compared to many raw or organic milks found elsewhere. They sell…

they do a killer burger!
Oh gosh, there's so many. This is a good discussion. I'm curious to see what everyone comes up with. I'll be adding some I'm sure!
Here's one no one mentioned yet:
The Beech Tree Grill in Poughkeepsie (1 Collegeview Ave, across from Vassar)

Many of the founding fathers were known for their prolific home beer production. Home-brewing beer should be considered a patriotic duty as well as a joy.
I am sad to hear that New Paltz is like that. It's funny, I would have thought the opposite. Congrats to your son! It's nice to hear that cooperation between parents and the Rondout Schools has a good track record.
Share a share. Split a cow. Barter one too many squash for three too many beans.
Meghan,
My daughter's school, Marbletown Elementary (MES) in Stone Ridge, has a group that worked to put in a garden outside the cafeteria that is now a member of the Rondout Vally Growers Association. There has been action there for the school to…
Parents, residents and farmers working together to get fresh food in the cafeteria. Join the discussion.
I saw that BackYard Bistro is looking for additional forage connections. They have a discussion link on the main page.
I appreciate everyone's insights very much! It's great to hear other people's passion come through. I just want to clarify that the farm I reviewed does have a permit. In addition, I'd just like to add that I am so happy to live in a community where…
Absolutely, a huge part of the eat local movement is about the direct support of local farmers and at a time when NY dairy farms are going out of business at an alarming rate it is amazing to live in an area that has an innovative network of farmers…
Agreed Patrick. I think this is a great discussion!
When it comes to buying local, we don't often enough hear that a big part of it is directly paying the person who does the most important part of the work: growing.
Sure, I love that my food is f…
Hahaha-truce! I support raw milk!
I am a big supporter of Hawthorne Valley and their raw milk. Sorry if I came off wrong. I was debating the statement that raw milk is a guarantee of clean milk and it is not. I also know that that just because you…
You are absolutely correct Meghan that the standards that must be met to hold a raw milk permit in NY are very rigorous and obtaining a permit costly to the farmer (I have considered it many times but I just can't justify the cost and hassle to the…
Another thing to note: although raw milk does contain bacteria that is killed during pasteurization, those who have licenses to sell raw milk in New York are heavily regulated.
The testing of bacteria levels is quite rigorous, so if you're buying f…
Joyce,
I like the way you say going direct to the farmer is a great way to know the product and people (and lovely animals too!). There is nothing I like more than meeting the growers and producers. I share this with my children, and as we grow as a…
