If you're looking to eat well and support local farms, Taliaferro Farms has a wide of range organic products (fruits and veggies, freshly baked artisan breads, meat and dairy product, local honey and maple syrup!), and it is located just a short distance from Main St. New Paltz! The lovely little farm is now open Thursday, Friday and Saturday to the public.
From Main St., Taliaferro is only a twenty minute ride South, making biking a great way to exercise on your way! You can take the Rail Trail or Water St. to Plains Rd. See map here.
On my trip to Taliaferro last Saturday I bought a bundle of fresh basil, a loaf of their multi-grain health bread, 4 lbs. of red and yellow heirloom tomatoes and a 1 lb. jar of local honey, all for just 22 dollars! Although it may seem slightly more expensive than buying groceries at a supermarket, the quality of the items you will buy at Taliaferro Farms is well worth it!
REMEMBER! The food market listens to the consumer. If you (and your friends) buy mostly organic and local, large farms that use pesticides, antibiotics and excessive amounts of energy will eventually transform into smaller, healthier and more sustainable farms!
