My gourmet products are now available at Saunderskill Farms

Saunderskill Farms located in Accord NY, is a farm market and greenhouse that specializes in farm-fresh produce, baked goods, gourmet and specialty foods and flowers. Thanks to Cathy and the Schoonmaker family for the opportunity to feature my gourmet sauces and condiments at Saunderskill Farms. The Schoonmaker property is somewhat of a local historical landmark having been originally granted to their ancestor Lieutenant Hendrick J. Schoonmaker by Peter Stuyvesant in 1663 as payment for military service. It has been continuously farmed since 1680. It's second in age only to the Hull family farm which is located in Southhold, Long Island NY. Feels good to be connected to local history.

Saunderskill Farms farm market opens on Memorial Day weekend featuring their own tomatoes, asparagus and strawberries. More fruits and vegetables are available throughout the spring, summer and fall. Visit their website for crops and approximate dates. At the bakery you'll find delicious cider donuts (trust me they're addictive), breads, cookies, pies, muffins, cookies. Gourmet and specialty foods include local maple syrup, honey and sauces. Dairy items are also available. The greenhouse opens in early April and stocks an extensive line of perennials. It converts to a seasonal gift store offering flower arrangements/baskets, decorated wreaths, poinsettias and so much more. In the fall, Saunderskill Farms features hay rides, pumpkins and a corn maze. On the first Saturday of each month from April - October free gardening classes are taught by master gardener Diane Watts. Give them a call to find out the topic.

Saunderskill Farms located at 5100 Route 209 in Accord NY is open 7AM - 6PM daily. For more information, call 845 626 2676, email info@saunderskill.com or visit their website at www.saunderskill.com and join the mailing list.

A few months ago it was my friend Julia B. who said, "Saunderskill Farms is a great place. I can totally see them carrying your gourmet sauces and condiments. You should connect with them" I'm so glad I took your advice, Julia. Thanks for the recommendation!

This week is the start of the pick your own strawberry season at Saunderskill Farms. Now that we are finally getting some warm, dry and sunny weather here in the northeast, head outside and pick some fresh fruit at this local farm so close to home.

Here's to dry weather, warm sunshine and healthy eating!
