Many of our towns hold farmers’ markets where growers gather with their wares— everything from farm fresh fruits and vegetables to meats, cheeses, and artisanal creations of all sorts.

Travel the Shawangunk Wine Trail or visit a craft brewery or distillery for fine libations. Put together the ingredients for your dream picnic or sample our eclectic array of eateries—farm to table is a way of life in Ulster County. ulstercountyalive.com
