Where to find local foods

Yankee has a variety of producers in our territory who are involved in direct to consumer retail sales. We thought it would be helpful to compile a list of resources. This list is not exhaustive and we welcome comments with links to other resources! Below are some resources to help you find local foods in Yankee's territory:

Vermont

The Vermont Agency of Agriculture maintains two lists:
Where to buy Vermont farm and food products
Regional directories of local food producers

Those lists are extensive. The only thing I didn't find at those links was a list of Vermont wineries.

UPDATE 8/21/12: DigInVT has an extensive list of agriculture and food experiences in Vermont. DigInVT is a project of the Vermont Agriculture and Culinary Tourism Council (VtACT).

New Hampshire

Click here for a variety of lists published by the NH Department of Agriculture including farm stands, farmers' markets, and much more.

New York

The Farm Fresh Guide is a searchable database maintained by the NY Department of Agriculture.

The 2012-2013 Guide to Local Food is a printer friendly brochure with information about local foods in Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties, including contact information for farmstands, farmer's markets and restaurants selling local foods.

Please let us know if you find useful links to other resources. We hope you enjoy the wide variety of local foods!
