Eating local during a pandemic? Adirondack Harvest says it can be done

Blue Pepper FarmAdirondack Harvest has added a COVID-19 resources page to its website, to make it easier to people to support area farms and businesses and continue to source locally produced foods. The page can be found here.

Here are a few highlights:

Delivery and pick-up options for local food and groceries.

Many regional CSA’s will begin soon. When you participate in a CSA, you will pay for a season’s worth of fresh food for a farmer, who will then coordinate pick-up or delivery to you weekly. To find a CSA near you, click here.

Farmstores are still open as well and taking care to keep their products available and safe for the public.  Browse regional farmstands and farmstores. Click here to view a map of regional farmstands and farmstores.

A list of Take-out and Delivery options has also been compiled by the Adirondack Almanack.

Many events and social gatherings have been canceled or postponed, but market organizers have updated protocol in some cases to provide a safer experience. The Saranac Lake Farmers’ Park-it is still open and offering curbside pick-up. You can order ahead online here.
